Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Miscellanies of Literature, Vol. 1 These two volumes comprise my writings on subjects chiefly of our vernacular literature. Now, collected together, they offer an unity of design, and afford to the general reader and to the student of classical antiquity some initiation into our national Literature. It is presumed also, that they present materials for thinking not solely on literary topics; authors and books are not alone here treated of, - a comprehensive view of human nature necessarily enters into the subject from the diversity of the characters portrayed, through the gradations of their faculties, the influence of their tastes, and those incidents of their lives prompted by their fortunes or their passions. These present volumes, with their brother "Curiosities of Literature" now constitute a body of reading which may awaken knowledge in minds only seeking amusement, and refresh the deeper studies of the learned by matters not unworthy of their curiosity. The titles of Calamities of Authors and Quarrels of Authors do not wholly designate the works, which include a considerable portion of literary history. The Literary Character has been an old favourite with many of my contemporaries departed or now living, who have found it respond to their own emotions. The Inquiry into the Literary and Political Character of James the First has surely corrected some general misconceptions, and thrown light on some obscure points in the history of that anomalous personage. It is a satisfaction to me to observe, since the publication of this tract, that while some competent judges have considered the "evidence irresistible," a material change has occurred in the tone of most writers. The subject presented an occasion to exhibit a minute picture of that age of transition in our national history. The Miscellanies are literary amenities, should they be found to deserve the title, constructed on that principle early adopted by me, of interspersing facts with speculation.
