Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 55 Art. I. - The Letters of Horace Walpole, Earl of Orford, including numerous Letters now first published from the Original Manuscripts. Philadelphia: Lea and Blanchard. 4 vols. 8vo. 1842. This is one, out of several English works of established character, which the publishers of the city of Philadelphia have lately undertaken to reproduce in America. The mode in which this attempt has been executed, has its advantages. There is not, to be sure, any thing like the luxury in paper, printing, and engraving, displayed by them, that marks the editions that issue from the London press, and most particularly that of the Letters we now propose to consider; but some compensation for the inferiority in these respects, is to be found in the great inferiority of price. The six volumes, into which the London copy is divided, are comprised in four, without material inconvenience to the reader, whilst the mechanical execution of them is not discreditable. It may be as much as we ought to expect at present in America, where individual fortunes are not large, and readers are many. So much new matter is daily issued from the press in the United States at very trifling cost, that it is of importance to the success of an effort to introduce standard works, that they should not be disproportionately expensive.
