Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Recollections of a Royal Academician I have noticed of late, but without surprise, that the literary critics of the public Press are beginning to protest against the numbers of biographies and autobiographies they are called upon to deal with and pronounce upon, but it is to be remembered that writers like Disraeli and Bulwer have recorded their opinion that such literary efforts are more interesting than any other, and on reading that noble Journal by Sir Walter Scott, one is tempted to believe that he felt more keen delight in those daily impromptu contributions to his literary work than in many of the most brilliant chapters of his completed works. Not having any special development of the organ of self-esteem, I desire to explain how it comes to pass that I propose "to bestow my tediousness" upon the few who are likely to read what I write.
