Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty-Five Letters on English Authors The following letters are the result of a genuine correspondence, and I have been induced to publish them from the consideration that they will help toward an answer to that Often repeated question, What Shall I read? I have no apology to offer for the easy, familiar style in which they are written, nor for the use of the first person. Such a direct and personal appeal was unavoidable in a real letter, and the attempt to eliminate it for publication would, I felt, destroy much of the spontaneity of the originals.

I have no apology to offer for the easy, familiar style in which they are written, nor for the use of the first person. Such a direct and personal appeal was unavoidable in a real letter, and the attempt to eliminate it for publication would, I felt, destroy much of the spontaneity of the originals. These letters were written as a supplement to text-book work on the part of the pupil. I found that such work was for the most part mere skeleton work, facts of date and birth, and catalogues of work accomplished. This skeleton work I tried to fill in with vital facts, living flesh and blood, gleaned from a wider reading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Letters and Letter-Writers of the Eighteenth Century: With Explanatory Notes For the most part, the Literature of Letter-Writing, properly so-called, falls within quite modern times. From Antiquity have come down to us several Collections of Letters; but, with two or three notable exceptions, such only in name, they are chiefly moral or political essays, descriptive pieces, and rhetorical declamations. In Greek Literature, one of the earliest of them bears the magic name of Plato. Modem criticism, generally, holds them to be forgeries; and their intrinsic merit or interest is not so high as to make their genuineness or spuriousness matter of very great concern. Equally spurious, but more entertaining, are the Letters of the Scythian or Tartar prince, Anacharsis, the enterprising traveller of the Sixth Century, B.C. Next, in order of time, come the so-called Letters of Alkiphron (of the Second or Third Century of the Christian era), the most entertaining and valuable of the species. As pictures of Athenian life and manners, of the New Comedy period, high interest attaches to them; and for elegance of style, and picturesqueness of description, they have a deserved repute. Not much later, probably, were composed the Love-Letters of Aristaenetus. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters to Living Authors Sir, - There is a certain quality which, more than talent, or genius, or energy, or force of will, lies at the bottom of all material success the quality which is known among men as worldly wisdom. You can scarcely be con gratulated on possessing it, for throughout your career you have shown less concern for the comfort and convenience Of your patrons, the public, than any other literary caterer living to day. Indeed, with the exception of Carlyle, no British writer of this generation has been so utterly regardless of the ease of the critics and the pleasure Of the general reader. You seem.
