Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical and Critical Miscellanies The subject of the present memoir affords an almost solitary example, at this period, of a. Scholar, in the enlarged ap lication of the term, who cultivated letters as a distinct and exclusive profession, resting his means of support, as well as his fame, on h1s success; and who, as a writer of fiction, is still farther entitled to credit for having quitted the beaten grounds of the Old Country, and sought his subjects in the untried wilderness of his own. The particulars of his unostentatious life have been collected with suffi cient industry by his friend, Mr. William Dunlap, to whom our native literature is under such large obligations for the extent and fidelity of his re searches. We will select a few of the most prom inent incidents from a mass of miscellaneous fragments and literary lumber with which his work is somewhat encumbered. It were to be wished that, in the place of some of them, more cupious extracts had been substituted for his journal and correspondence, which, doubtless, in this as in other cases, must afford the most interesting, as well as an thcntic materials for biography.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical and Critical Miscellanies, Vol. 2 The vast amount of similar contributions in France during the last century, which, in the shape of letters and anecdotes, as well as memoirs, have made us as intimately acquainted with the internal movements of society in Paris, under all its aspects, literary, fashionable, and political, as if they had passed in review before our own eyes. The French have been remarked for their excel lence in narrative ever since the times of the fabliaux and the old Norman romances. Some what of their success in this way may be imputed to the structure of their language, whose general currency, and whose peculiar fitness for prose composition, have been noticed from a very early period. Brunetto Latini, the master of Dante, wrote his Tesoro in French, in preference to his own tongue, as far back as the middle of the thirteenth century, on the ground that its speech was the most universal and most delectable of all the dialects of Europe. And Dante asserts in his treatise on Vulgar Eloquence that the superiority of the French consists in its adaptation, by means of its facility and agreeableness, to narratives in prose. Much of the wild, artless grace, the naivete, which characterized it in its infancy, has been gradually polished away by fastidious critics, and can scarcely be said to have survived Marot and Montaigne. But the lan guage has gained considerably in perspicuity, pre cision, and simplicity of construction, to which the jealous labors of the French Academy must be admitted to have contributed essentially.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical and Critical Miscellanies, Vol. 1 The volume of Biographical and Critical Miscellanies was published when Prescott had attained an international reputation. It was sent to the press not because of any intrinsic merit in the essays themselves, but because their author rightly judged that the reading public, especially in England, would like to peruse some of his earliest productions, and to compare them with his later works. The English edition, which contains all the papers except the review of Ticknor's History of Spanish Literature, was published in 1845. As one studies the Miscellanies to-day he realizes fully the force of Daniel Websters oft quoted remark when, after the publication of the "History of the Reign of Ferdinand and Isabella" he characterized Prescott as "a comet which had suddenly blazed out upon the world in full splendor." They are exceedingly interesting to the historical student who desires to compare the reviews of the first half of the last century with those of the present day.
