Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Epistolae Ho-Elianae or the Familiar Letters of James Howell, Vol. 1: With an Introduction by Agnes Repplier If the unresponsive gods, so often invoked, so seldom complaisant, would grant me one sweet boon, I should ask of them that I might join that little band of authors, who, unknown to the wide careless world, remain from generation to generation the friends of a few fortunate readers. Such authors have no conspicuous foothold among those opulent, symmetrical volumes that scan on drill in rich men´s libraries, as well uniformed and as untried as a smart militia regiment. They have been seldom seen in the lists of the hundred best books. The committees who select reading matters for their native towns are often unacquainted with their titles. The great department stores of our great cites never often them to the great public in twenty-five cent editions. Yet they live for centuries tranquil life of dignified seclusion. When they are lifted down from their remote corners on the bookshelves, it is with a friendly touch. The hands that hold them, caress them. The eyes that glance over them, smile at the familiar pages. Their readers feel for them a personal sentiment, approaching them with mental ease, and with a sweet and certain intimacy of companionship.
