Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World's Greatest Books, Vol. 9 I have hated myself that I might love you; I came hither to ruin myself in a perpetual imprisonment that I might make you live quietly and at ease. Nothing but virtue, joined to a love perfectly disengaged from the senses, could have produced such effects. Vice never inspires anything like this; it is too much enslaved to the body. This was my cruel uncle's notion; he measured my virtue by the frailty Of my sex, and thought it was the man and not the person I loved. But he has been guilty to no purpose. I love you more than ever, and so revenge myself on him. I will still love you with all the tenderness of my soul till the last moment of my life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World's Greatest Books, Vol. 1 An enterprise such as The World's Greatest Books is to be judged from two different standpoints. It may be judged with respect to its specific achievement - the material of which it consists; or it may be judged with regard to its general utility in the scheme of literature to which it belongs. In an age which is sometimes ironically called "remarkable" for its commercialism, nothing has been more truly remarkable than the advancement in learning as well as in material progress; and of all the instruments that have contributed to this end, none has been more effective, perhaps, than the practical popularisation of literature. In The World's Greatest Books an attempt has been made to effect a compendium of the world's best literature in a form that shall be at once accessible to every one and still faithful to its originals; or, in other words, it has been sought to allow the original author to tell his own story over again in his own language, but in the shortest possible space. Such a method differs entirely from all those in which an author is represented, either by one or more extracts from his work, or else by a formal summary or criticism of it in a language not his own.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World's Greatest Books, Vol. 8 It was upon a delicious summer morning that a youth approached the ford of a small river, near the Royal castle of Plessis-les-Tours, in ancient Touraine. The age of the young traveller might be about nineteen or twenty, and his face and person were very prepossessing. His smart blue bonnet, with sprig of holly and eagle's feather, was already recognised as the Scottish headgear. Two persons loitered on the opposite side of the small river and observed the youth. "Hark, sir, he halloes to know whether the water be deep," said the younger of the two. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Queen Anne, the Augustan age of the essay. There were no newspapers then, no magazines or re views, no Parliamentary reports, nothing corresponding to the so-called light literature of later days. The only centres of society that existed were the court, with the aristocracy that revolved about it, and the clubs and coffee-houses, in which the commercial and professional classes met to discuss matters of general interest, to crack their jokes, and to exchange small talk about this, that and the other person, man or woman, who might happen to figure, publicly or privately, at the time. The Spectator was one of the first organs to give form and consistency to the opinion, the humour and the gossip en gendered by this social contact. One of the first, but not quite the first' for the less famous, though still remembered, Tatler preceded it. 'and these two, The Tatler and The Spectator, have an intimate connection from the circumstance that Rich ard Steele, who started The Tatler in April, 1709, got Addison to write for it, and then joined with Addison in The Spectator when his own paper stopped in Janu ary, 1711. Addison and Steele had been friends since boyhood. They were contemporaries at the Charter house, and Steele Often spent his holidays in the parson age Oi Addison's father.
