Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Selected Essays and Papers of Richard Copley Christie: Ex-Chancellor of the Diocese of Manchester Author of ´Etienne Dolet, the Martyr of the Renaissance´ Etc The following pages have been given to the world by the widow of Mr. R. C. Christie, as a memorial to his scholarship. For the selection of the essays and papers the editor is mainly responsible, in view of the fact that Mr. Christie himself left no specific directions on the point beyond expressing a wish to have his Quarterly articles reprinted. A full list of all his books, essays, papers, and notes is, however, appended to the Memoir, with an indication of the sources where they can be found if reference to them is desired. The reasons for the inclusion of the two final papers, that on the Relations of the Church to the State and the 1889 Charge as Chancellor will be found set out in the Memoir. Appended to the Memoir will also be found Mr. J. Cree snotes on Mr. Christie´s unique collection of books. Mr. Cree has further assisted in the production of the book throughout, and has compiled the index and the bibliography of Mr. Christie´s writings. In a sense all Mr. Christie´s work in the present volume may be looked upon as preparatory, as indicating his preoccupation with a particular school of Benaissance writers, and as foreshadowing his intention of some day treating of them either in a single synoptical work or in a series of monographs on the same scale as his ´Dolet.´ That the scheme came not to fruition is to be attributed only to physical prostration. But what the loss is thereby to the world of scholarship is not capable of expression. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
