Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters From Thomas Percy, D. D., Afterwards Bishop of Dromore, John Callander of Craigforth, Esq., David Herd, and Others, to George Paton Of the correspondents whose names appear in this volume, it is not necessary that much should be said. The first in order, and the most eminent, is, the revered Dr Percy, who, under the patronage of the Northumberland family, obtained considerable Church preferment, and finally was raised to the See of Dromore in Ireland. He is principally known for his "Reliques of Ancient English Poetry," in 8 vols. originally published in 1765, and for the "Hermit of Warkworth," and other successful imitations of the ancient ballad. He was the Editor of the Northumberland Household Book, of which so much is said in the Letters. It was not printed for sale, and was therefore an article in great request with Bibliomaniacs; but its pecuniary value is now greatly diminished, from the book having subsequently been twice reprinted. He also translated Mallet´s Northern Antiquities, 2 vols. 8vo. 1770; a work of great value. His other productions are of minor importance. A beautiful print of his Lordship will be found in Dibdin´s Decameron. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
