Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History and Fate of Sacrilege: Edited, in Part From Two Mss;, Revised and Corrected, With a Continuation, Large Additions, and an Introductory Essay The History of Sacrilege, now for the first time reprinted, was commenced by Sir Henry Spelman about the year 1612. He has related the motive that induced him to undertake its composition. Possessed of the sites of Blackborough and Wormgay Abbeys, in Norfolk, he was involved in continual and expensive lawsuits, and when they were finally given up by him, he found that he had been "a great loser, and not beholden to fortune, yet happy in this, that he was out of the briars; but especially that hereby he first discerned the infelicity of meddling with consecrated places." He appears to have carried on his collections till the year 1632, when he began to arrange them ; the last date of any fresh entry in his memoranda is November 22, 1634. On his death, the papers were intrusted to the care of the Rev. Jeremy Stephens, himself an author of some reputation, and who had evidently been acquainted with, and interested in, the progress of the work. The Great Rebellion rendered publication, for many years, impossible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
