Book excerpt: Excerpt from Contributions to the Edinburgh Review, Vol. 3 of 3 A great deal that should naturally come under this title has been unavoidably given already, under that of History; and more, I fear, may be detected under still less appropriate denominations. If any unwary readers have been thus unwittingly decoyed into Politics, while intent on more innocent studies, I can only hope that they will now take comfort, from finding how little of this obnoxious commodity has been left to appear in its proper colours; and also from seeing, from the decorous title now assumed, that all intention of engaging them in Party discussions is disclaimed. I do not think that I was ever a violent or (consciously) uncandid partisan; and at all events, ten years of honest abstinence and entire segregation from party contentions (to say nothing of the sobering effects of threescore antecedent years!), should have pretty much effaced the vestiges of such predilections, and awakened the least considerate to a sense of the exaggerations, and occasional unfairness, which such influences must almost unavoidably impart to political disquisitions. In what I now reprint I have naturally been anxious to select what seemed least liable to this objection: and though I cannot flatter myself that a tone of absolute, Judicial impartiality is maintained in all these early productions, I trust that nothing will be found in them that can suggest the idea either of personal animosity, or of an ungenerous feeling towards a public opponent. To the two first, and most considerable, of the following papers, indeed, I should wish particularly to refer, as fair exponents both of the principles I think I have always maintained, and of the temper in which I was generally disposed to maintain them. In some of the others a more vehement and contentious tone may no doubt be detected. But as they touch upon matters of permanent interest and importance, and advocate opinions which I still think substantially right, I have felt that it would be pusillanimous now to suppress them, from a poor fear of censure, which, if just, I cannot but know that I deserve - or a still poorer distrust of those allowances which I have no reason to think will be withheld from me by the better part of my readers.

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.

This book was released on 2016-12-21 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Critical and Historical Essays, Contributed to the Edinburgh Review, Vol. 5 of 5 Miss Burney did for the English novel what Jeremy Collier did for the English drama; and she did it in a better way. She first showed that a tale might be written in which both the fashionable and the vulgar life of London might be exhibited with great force, and with broad comic humour, and which yet should not contain a single line inconsistent with rigid morality, or even with virgin delicacy. She took away the reproach which lay on a most useful and delightful species of composition. She vindicated the right of her sex to an equal share in a fair and noble province of letters. Several aecom plished women have followed in her track. At present, the povels which we owe to English ladies form no small part of the literary glory of our country. No class of works is more honourably distinguished by fine observation, by grace, by delicate wit, by pure moral feeling. Several among the s cessors of Madame d'arblay have equalled her; two, we think, have surpassed her. But the fact that she has been surpassed gives her an additional claim to our respect and gram; for, in truth we owe to her not only Evelina, Cc cilia and Camilla, but also Mansfield Park and the Absentee.

This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Critical and Historical Essays, Contributed to the Edinburgh Review, Vol. 3 of 3 William was an infant when the civil war broke out; and, while he was still in his rudiments, a Presbyterian hierarchy and a republican government were established on the ruins of the ancient church and throne.01d Mr. Wycherley was attached to the royal cause, and was not disposed to intrust the education of his heir to the solemn Puritans who now ruled the universities and public schools. Accordine the young gentleman was sent at dilceu to France. He resided some time in the neighbourhood of the Duke of Montausier, l chief of one of the noblest families of Touraine. The Duke's wife, a daughter of the house of Rambouillet, was a finished specimen of those talents and ac complishments for which her race was celebrated. The young foreigner was introduced to the splendid circle which surrounded the duchess, and there he appears to have learned some good and some evil. In a few years he returned to his country a fine gentleman and a Papist. His conversion, it may safely be afirmed, was the effect not of any strong impression on his understanding, or feelings, but partly of intercourse with agreeable society in which the Church of Rome was the fashion, and partly of that aversion to Calvinistic austerities which was then almost universal among young Englishmen of parts spirit, and which, at one time, seemed likely to make one half of them Catholics, and the other half Atheists.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Critical and Historical Essays, Contributed to the Edinburgh Review, Vol. 3 of 5 We return our hearty thanks to Mr. Montagu for this truly valuable work. From the opinions which he expresses as a biographer we often dissent. But about his merit as a collector of the materials out of which opinions are formed, there can be no dispute; and we readily acknowledge that we are in a great measure indebted to his minute and accurate researches for the means of refuting what we cannot but consider as his errors. The labour which has been bestowed on this volume has been a labour of love. The writer is evidently enamoured of the subject. It fills his heart. It constantly overflows from his lips and his pen. Those who are acquainted with the Courts in which Mr. Montagu practises with so much ability and success well know how often he enlivens the discussion of a point of law by citing some weighty aphorism, or some brilliant illustration, from the De Augmentis or the Novum Organum.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reviewers Reviewed: Or Remarks on the Edinburgh Review We have always professed a vast reverence for those wonderful men, the Scotch Reviewers; and have eagerly seized every opportunity of paying them the homage of our profound admiration. Nor can we sufficiently express the obligations we feel under to them for the light which they have shed upon our dark and benighted country. We have ever looked up to them as oracles in politics - and such they have proved themselves - as the only legitimate arbiters of taste, and the true purifiers and refiners of the English language. But as all great men have some prominent excellence, which particularly distinguishes them, that for which these reviewers are most remarkable, is their wonderful modesty.
