Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literary Essays Contributed to the Edinburgh Review But he writes with as much ease and freedom as if Latin were his mother tongue; and, where he is least happy, his failure seems to arise from the carelessness of a native, not from the ignorance of a foreigner. We may apply to him what Denham with great felicity says of Cowley. He wears the garb, but not the clothes of the ancients. Throughout the volume are discernible the traces of a powerful and independent mind, emancipated from the influence Of authority, and devoted to the search of truth. Milton professes to form his system from the Bible alone and his digest Of scriptural texts is certainly among the best that have appeared. But he is not always so happy in his inferences as in his Citations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Critical and Historical Essays, Contributed to the Edinburgh Review, Vol. 5 of 5 Though the world saw and heard little of Madame D'Arblay during the last forty years of her life, and though that little did not add to her fame, there were thousands, we believe, who felt a singular emotion when they learned that she was no longer among us. The news of her death carried the minds of men back at one leap over two generations, to the time when her first literary triumphs were won. All those whom we had been accustomed to revere as intellectual patriarchs seemed children when compared with her; for Burke had sate up all night to read her writings, and Johnson had pronounced her superior to Fielding, when Rogers was still a schoolboy, and Southey still in petticoats. Yet more strange did it seem that we should just have lost one whose name had been widely celebrated before any body had heard of some illustrious men who, twenty, thirty, or forty years ago, were, after a long and splendid career, borne with honour to the grave. Yet so it was. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Critical and Historical Essays Contributed to the Edinburgh Review, Vol. 3 of 3 In some respects Mr. Leigh Hunt is excellently qualified for the task which he has now undertaken. His style, in spite of its mannerism, nay, partly by reason of its mannerism, is well suited for light, garrulous, desultory aria, half critical, half bio graphical. We do not always agree with his literary judgments; but we find in him whatis very rare in our time, the power of justly appreciating and heartily enjoying good things of very difi'erent kinds. He can adore Shakspeare and Spenser without denying poetical genius to the author of Alexander' s Feast, or fine observation, rich fancy, and exquisite humour to him who imagined Will Honeycomb and Sir Roger de Coverley. He has paid particular attention to the history of the English drama, from the age of Elizabeth down to our own time, and has every right to be heard with respect on that subject.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Political Literary Essays: 1908-1913 I have to thank the editors of The Edinburgh and Quarterly Reviews, The Nineteenth Century and After., and The Spectator for allowing the republication of these essays, all of which appeared originally in their respective columns. No important alterations or additions have been made, but I should like to observe, as regards the first essay of the series - on "The Government of Subject Races" - that, although only six years have elapsed since it was written, events in India have moved rapidly during that short period. I adhere to the opinions expressed in that essay so far as they go, but it will be obvious to any one who has paid attention to Indian affairs that, if the subject had to be treated now, many very important issues, to which I have not alluded, would have to be imported into the discussion.

Download or read book Contributions to the Edinburgh Review Vol 2 of 4 Classic Reprint written by Francis Jeffrey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Contributions to the Edinburgh Review, Vol. 2 of 4 The only other part of Lord Holland's statement, to which we think it necessary to call the attention of the reader, is that in which he thinks it necessary to explain the peculiar notions which Mr. Fox entertained on the subject of historical composition, and the very rigid laws to which he had subjected himself in the execution of his important task. It is therefore necessary to Observe, that he had formed his plan SO exclusively on the model of ancient writers, that he not only felt some repugnance to the modern practice of notes, but he thought that all which an historian wished to say, should be introduced as part of a continued narration, and never assume the appearance of a digression, much less of a dissertation annexed to it. From the period, therefore, that he closed his Introductory Chapter, he defined his duty as an author, to consist in recounting the facts as they arose; or in his simple and forcible language, in telling the story of those times. A con versation which passed on the subject of the literature of the age of James the Second, proves his rigid adherence to these ideas; and per haps the substance of it may serve to illustrate and explain them. In Speaking Of the writers of that period, he lamented that he had not devised a method of interweaving any account of them or their works, much less any criticism on their style, into his history. On my sug geeting the example of Hume and Voltaire, who had discussed such topics at some length, either at the end of each reign, or in a separate chapter, he Observed, with much commendation of their execution of it, that such a contrivance might be a good mode of writing critical essays, but that it was, in his Opinion, incompatible with the nature of his undertaking, which, if it ceased to be a narrative, ceased to be a history. - p.

This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Critical, Historical, and Miscellaneous Essays, Vol. 2 of 6: With a Memoir and Index No attempt has been made to remodel any of the pieces which are contained in this volume. Even the criticism on Milton, which was written when the author was fresh from college, and which contains scarcely a paragraph such as his matured judgment approves, still remains overloaded with gaudy and ungraceful ornament. The blemishes which have been removed were, for the most part, blemishes caused by unavoidable haste. The author has sometimes, like other contributors to periodical works, been under the necessity of writing at a distance from all books and from all advisers; of trusting to his memory for facts, dates, and quotations; and of sending manuscripts to the post without reading them over. What he has composed thus rapidly has often been as rapidly 'printed. His object has been that every Essay should now appear as it probably would have appeared when 'it was first published, if he had then been allowed an additional day or two to revise the proof-sheets, with the assistance of a good library.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays Ecclesiastical Biography, Vol. 1 of 2 I had destined my contributions to the Edinburgh Review to that early forgetfulness which, with a very few remarkable exceptions, attends and befits the whole mass of the periodical literature of our age. But it has seemed good to certain American book sellers to publish, with my name, repeated editions of a series of those contributions. I am thus an author in my own despite. In these circumstances I have had to make my choice between publishing an enlarged and corrected edition of those papers, or continuing to appear, to such persons in the United States as arc readers of such books, the author of a volume replete with defects and errors. Some of those faults are the result of the mere want of learning and ability to do better; and are therefore incorrigible. But some of them are the result of the haste with which our periodical works arc got up by most of the writers of them, and especially by those who, like myself, have been compelled to write in the very scanty leisure oi n life of almost ceaseless labour.
