Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Oliver Goldsmith, Vol. 5 of 5: A New Edition, Containing Pieces Hitherto Uncollected, and a Life of the Author; Prefaces and Introductions: Animated Nature (Extracts): Nobleman´s Letters: Goody Two-Shoes: Index This edition Goldsmith´s works has exceeded its originally appointed measure by a whole volume: but it is to be hoped that nothing has been included which may not fitly find a place in what aspires to be a full and accurate edition of his works. To attempt an absolutely complete edition of his writings, comprising everything that proceeded from his pen at the bidding of booksellers and the promptings of daily requirements, would be obviously neither a desirable nor a practicable undertaking: and in this volume, in the shape of prefaces and extracts, will probably be found all that retains any interest of these laudable but now inadequate and misleading compilations. If there is an error, it is perhaps one of excess, since the extracts are somewhat larger than former editions have given. Several of the Prefaces here given are now included in Goldsmith´s works for the first time; and with regard to one, viz., that of the ´Seven Years´ War,´ some new information as to the origin and date of the work will be found. The inclusion of the old tale of ´Goody Two-Shoes´ is in deference to the popular supposition that it was written by him. There are good grounds, it will be seen, for supposing that the Introduction and some passages, if no more, are by Goldsmith. A copious index to Goldsmith´s works, hitherto a desideratum, completes the work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
