Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Library Companion: Or, the Young Man´s Guide, and the Old Man´s Comfort, in the Choice of a Library It will be obvious, from the slightest glance at the ensuring pages, that it has been the object of their author to present a great quantity of useful information within a reasonable compass. A work which, like the present, aspires to be a Guide to Youth and a Comfort to Old Age, should be rendered at once commodious in form and moderate in price; and considering the extent and variety of the subjects here treated, it is presumed that both these points will be found to have been accomplished in the volume now in the hands of the Public. But a consideration of much greater importance has influenced me on the present occasion. From the beginning to the end, I have never lost sight of what I considered to be the Most Material Object to be gained from a publication of this nature; namely, the imparting of a moral feeling to the gratification of a literary taste. Let us consider the subject dispassionately. Great Britain is the most wealthy, and, politically speaking, perhaps the most powerful kingdom upon earth.
