Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Thomas Cooper "The Purgatory of Suicides" has been several years out of print; and, although the demand for it has been considerable, I could not sooner bring myself to consent to its re-issue, from a fear lest passages in the Poem which give me pain, by reminding me of past errofs, might also give pain, and perhaps do harm, to others. Prolonged reflection leads me, at length, to the conclusion, that I ought to banish that fear, now such errors have been repeatedly confessed and openly abandoned. Without hesitation I have expunged lines and stanzas which, I found, contained mis-statements of fact, - or which, I thought, violated right feeling. And I would most gladly have altered or obliterated verses which still are marked by momentous error, but saw that I could do neither without falsifying and changing altogether the character of my ´Prison-Rhyme,´ a character naturally stamped on the book by the clime and circumstances under which it was produced. So, with little alteration, "The Purgatory of Suicides" must remain as part of a Mind-history which, though faulty, will not, I trust, be without healthful value to some especially if they regard that historys About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
