Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Inedited Tracts: Illustrating the Manners, Opinions, and Occupations of Englishmen During the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries; Now First Republished From the Original Copies With a Preface and Notes It may be questioned whether, in the entire compass of early English literature, three Tracts could be found more instructively and entertainingly illustrative of old manners and ideas than those which are here presented to the subscribers to the present series. The first article, Cyuile and Vncyuile Life, 1579 exists in two copies, which are of different issues, if not of different editions. Of each of these issues (or editions), this single copy only is known. I have preferred adopting that of 1586, because the opportunity was afforded me by the kindness of a friend, of collating in proof the transcript of the Bodleian exemplar, line for line, with the original copy of the later date in his possession, The annexed page is an exact representation of the title of the earlier quarto. The account given by the anonymous writer of this valuable volume may now be compared with other authorities for the same class of information, such as Peacham´s Compleat Gentleman, 1622, Blome´s Gentleman´s Recreation Markham´s Country Contentments, &c.
