Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Edinburgh Review, or Critical Journal, Vol. 138: For July, 1873 October, 1873, to Be Continued Quarterly Art. I. - 1. The Poston Letters. A New Edition. Edited by James Gairdner, of the Public Record Office. Vol. I. 1872. 2. Trevelyan Papers. Part I. II. Edited by J. Payne Collier, Esq. Part III. (with introduction). Edited by Sir Walter Calverley Treveltan, Bart., and Sir Charles Edward Trevelyan, K.C.B. Printed for the Camden Society. 1857-1872. ´Some,´ says Boswell, in that sententious style which it was usually his pleasure to assume after having had the benefit of the great Doctor´s conversation for some weeks, some have affected to laugh at the "History of the House of "Yvery"´ (a production which seems never to have got beyond the stage of private printing and distribution). ´It would be well if many others would transmit their pedigrees to posterity, with the same accuracy and generous zeal with ´hich the noble lord who compiled that work has honoured and perpetuated his ancestry. Family histories, like the imagines mojorum of the ancients, excite to virtue.´ We entirely agree with our favourite biographer, though not adopting the magniloquence with which he announces his opinion. As the life of an individual furnishes upon the whole the most agreeable of all literary subjects, other than the merely romantic, to the majority of readers; so the life of a family, duly traced and authenticated, ought to supply matter not indeed of the same class of interest, but still of no common utility both for amusement and instruction. For the individual lives on in his family. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
