Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asking him to express his compliments to Lady Clive for the hospitality he received at Lord Clive's House and suggesting that he might also "...prevail upon Miss Ducarel to set it to Music. Let me know what it is, that I may see for once how sound and Sense go together. Tho' I have no great hopes of supplanting Tufty, I am infinitely ambitious of possessing a Share in Lady Clive's Favour. If I could take rank before Mr. Beaumont, and immediately after Casar, I think I could wait with patience for the Death of all the Dogs & Cats in the Family. I pray you to inform her Ladyship, that I have taken the Liberty to send an Italian Book for her to Berkeley Square, upon an interesting Subject - Heaven avert the Omen! but it is called "Lagrime in morte di un Gatto", and contains every Thing that can be said upon so serious an Occasion. In the Case of a Mortality at Walcot, for even Cats with all their Lives find themselves mortal at last, - This Treatise will furnish Epitaphs for them all. - But the Subject grows too affecting;" relating news he has received from India and the current India stock price; concluding "Au reste, we are as quiet as Lambs. If any Thing more interesting should occur, you shall hear from me again. London is actually as hot as Calcutta, and as dull as a Country Village."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Junius was the pseudonym of a writer who contributed a series of letters to the Public Advertiser, from 21 January 1769 to 21 January 1772. The signature had been already used, apparently by him, in a letter of 21 November 1768. These and numerous other personal letters were not included in his Letters of Junius collection, published in 1772 ... Sir Philip Francis (22 October 1740? 23 December 1818) was an Irish-born British politician and pamphleteer, the supposed author of the Letters of Junius, and the chief antagonist of Warren Hastings. His accusations against the latter led to the Impeachment of Warren Hastings by Parliament."--Wikipedia.

Download or read book An Artisan Intellectual written by Christopher Ferguson and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2016-12-14 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In An Artisan Intellectual, Christopher Ferguson examines the life and ideas of English tailor and writer James Carter, one of countless and largely anonymous citizens whose lives dramatically transformed during Britain’s long march to modernity. Carter began his working life at age thirteen as an apprentice and continued to work as a tailor throughout the first half of the nineteenth century, first in Colchester and then in London. As the Industrial Revolution brought innovations to every aspect of British life, Carter took advantage of opportunities to push against the boundaries of his working-class background. He supplemented his income through his writing, publishing often unsigned books, articles, and poems on subjects as diverse as religion, death, nature, aesthetics, and theories of civilization. Carter’s words give us a fascinating window into the revolutionary forces that upended the world of ordinary citizens in this era and demonstrate how the changes in daily life impacted personal experiences and intellectual pursuits as well as labor practices and living and working environments. Ferguson deftly explores a forgotten tailor’s varied responses to the many transformations that produced the world’s first modern society.

Book excerpt: This book, written by a team of experts from many countries, provides a comprehensive account of the ways in which translation has brought the major literature of the world into English-speaking culture.

Download or read book Victorian Horace written by Stephen Harrison and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poetry of Horace was central to Victorian male elite education and the ancient poet himself, suitably refashioned, became a model for the English gentleman. Horace and the Victorians examines the English reception of Horace in Victorian culture, a period which saw the foundations of the discipline of modern classical scholarship in England and of many associated and lasting social values. It shows that the scholarly study, translation and literary imitation of Horace in this period were crucial elements in reinforcing the social prestige of Classics as a discipline and its function as an indicator of 'gentlemanly' status through its domination of the elite educational system and its prominence in literary production. The book ends with an epilogue suggesting that the framework of study and reception of a classical author such as Horace, so firmly established in the Victorian era, has been modernised and 'democratised' in recent years, matching the movement of Classics from a discipline which reinforces traditional and conservative social values to one which can be seen as both marginal and liberal.
