Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of John Milton in Verse and Prose, Vol. 8: Printed From the Original Editions With a Life of the Author by the Rev. John Mitford Altho I fear, lest, if in defending the People of England, I should be as copious in Words, and empty of Matter, as most Men think Salmasius has been in his Defence of the King, I might seem to deserve justly to be accounted a verbose and filly Defender; yet since no Man thinks himself obliged to make so much haste, tho in the handling but of any ordinary Subject, as not to premise some Introduction at least, according as the weight of his Subject requires; if I take the same course in hand ling almost the greatest Subject that ever was, (without being too tedious in it) I am in hopes of attaining two things, which indeed I earnestly desire. The one, not to be at all wanting, as far as in me lies, to this most Noble Cause, and most worthy to be recorded to all future Ages: The other, That I may appear to have avoided myself, that frivolousness of Matter, and redundancy of Words, which I blame in my Antagonist.
