Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Archaica Containing a Reprint of Scarce Old English Prose Tracts, With Prefaces, Critical and Biographical, Vol. 1 of 2 When the commencement of the present Selection of reprinted Tracts was announced in March 1814, words were used in the Prospectus, to which, at the conclusion, the Editor will not shrink from recurring. "Great care," it was said, "will be exercised in the selection of these Tracts; which will be chosen out of such as illustrate the character of our ancient literature; the manners and customs of the × and the taste of the people, at the period of their publication; of such as are frequently referred to by historians and critics of enlarged and deep research, like Warton; and which being at present, in consequence of their rarity, inaccessible to all but a few rich and lucky Collectors, would thus be opened to the liberal curiosity of the studious and inquisitive. Among these are many of the Tracts of Robert Greene, with those of Gabriel Harvey, Thomas Lodge, Thomas Nash, John Lilly, some of Nicholas Breton, and several others. Mere pamphlets of a temporary or local nature, remarkable for nothing but their scarcity, will not be allowed a place in this Collection."
