Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Miscellaneous Works of Edward Gibbon, Esq., Vol. 3 of 5: With Memoirs of His Life and Writings, Composed by Himself; Illustrated From His Letters, With Occasional Notes and Narrative; Historical and Critical The following Pieces have already been noticed in the Introduction to the First Volume. Many of them were juvenile performances; and under the persuasion that they will be candidly received as such, they are now delivered to the Press. They certainly are entitled to greater indulgence than could be claimed for Compositions more finished and elaborate, and written at the time of mature age. The minute account of Mr. Gibbon´s studies each day, extracted from the Journal of his actions and opinions, and his observations on the several Works he had perused, evince a singular and unremitting industry. In that view they may afford an useful lesson and example to such young readers as shall not already be convinced of the necessity of assiduous application in the acquisition of every kind of learning.
