Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Memoir of Robert Surtees, Esq., M.A., F. S. A : Author of the History of the County Palatine of Durham It having been determined by the Surtees Society, to publish in an octavo form a reprint of the Memoir in folio of Mr. Surtees, by the late Geo. Taylor, Esq., with additions, consisting of some of his unpublished Poems and Letters, I have been solicited to be the Editor of the Volume, and I have undertaken the task under feelings of no ordinary kind. For upwards of twenty years, it was my happiness to enjoy the friendship of Mr. Surtees; a friendship which was on his side uniformly characterized by sincerity, and evidenced by numerous acts of kindness. In our respective ages there was a disparity; but in the memorable words of Dr. Johnson, when writing of his early friend Gilbert Walmsley, although "I was only not a boy, he never received my notions with contempt. I honoured him, and he tolerated me. He was one of the first friends that literature procured me, and I hope that, at least, my gratitude made me worthy of his notice. His studies had been so various, that I am not able to name a man of equal knowledge. His acquaintance with books was great; and what he did not immediately know, he could at least tell where to find.
