Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Talisman I had access to all which antiquity believed, whether of reality or fable, on the subject of that magnificent warrior, who was the proudest boast of Europe and their chivalry, and with whose dreadful name the Saracens, according to a historian of their own country, were wont to rebuke their startled horses. Do you thin said they, that King Richard is on the track, that you stray so wildly from it? The most curious register of the history of King Richard, is an ancient romance, translated originally from the Norman and at first certainly having a pretence to be termed a work of chivalry, but latterly becoming stuffed with the most astonishing and monstrous fables. There is perhaps no metrical romance upon record, where, along with curious and genuine history, are mingled more absurd and exaggerated incidents.

'it reads thus: Never relinquish conquest. This nation is the richest of all the earth. Huge buildings of gold stand everywhere about. Jewels and precious stones form the pavements of the streets. The beauty of the scene and fertility of the soil were never equalled. And as for the maidens, man's eye never gazed upon per fection before.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Talisman: For 1829 Warm I committed to the press, last year, a miscellaneous selection from my unpublished writings, I had no idea of commencing a series of volumes, to appear annually in the same form. Nor is it my present purpose to present myself periodically before the public. But I have been induced, from several considerations, to prepare for the press another volume, of the same form with its predecessor. I will not deny that the flattering reception given to the first, both by the people and the critics, has had its influence upon me; although, as I remarked in 'my first prefiwe, I have been thought too careless about literary fame.

With no fond, sickly thirst for fame I kneel, O goddess of the high-born art, to thee; Not unto thee with semblance of a zeal I come, O pure and heaven-eyed Poesy!
