Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Opal Queen The author finds some embarrassment between the desire of presenting the character of Mr. Earle in the stronger lights which his letters would reveal, and the danger of clogging the narrative with irrelevant matter and thus weaken the interest in Miss Archer´s career. A correspondence between Mr. Earle and a college friend, Mr. Arthur Doane, is in the author´s hands, and the temptation is strong to introduce these letters. But as they treat mainly of his connection with the "Monboddo School," and the literary development through which he was passing at that period, it is necessary to content ourselves with an extract, here and there, from these letters. For this same reason (preserving the unities of the story), the history of the eccentricities of the noted teacher, his dealings with his pupils, his discussions of the principles of the "literary art," and his methods and suggestions as to the work of teaching, are detached from the story proper, although synchronously belonging to it. Those interested in the "Monboddo School" will find the lectures ("examinations") of the Professor, as well as the letters of Mr. Earle, in Part Second at the close of the volume. It is thought best to reserve the essays referred to in the Preface for another work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
