Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poetical Works of Dr. Tho; Parnell, Vol. 1 of 2: Containing Those Published by Mr. Pope, Together With His Whole Posthumous Pieces Of our exalted Poet, whose life, though far from being popular, did not altogether pass in privacy, we meet with few other accounts than such as the life of every man will afford, viz. when he was born, where he was educated, and where he died: for as the fame of a scholar is acquired in solitude, his life seldom abounds with adventure. But as we are naturally fond of talking of those who have afforded us pleasure, and as we never receive pleasure without a desire to be acquainted with the source from whence it springs, it is hoped these simple Memoirs of the man will not be unacceptable to those who admire the poet. The city of Dublin had the honour of giving birth to the Author of the following Poems in the 1676, where Mr. Parnell also received the first rudiments of his education at the school of Dr. Jones. Our Author was descended from an ancient family, settled for some centuries at Congleton in Cheshire. His father, who was also named Thomas, went over to Ireland upon the Restoration, being attached to the Commonwealth party: in that kingdom he acquired very considerable property in lands, which estates, as well as those possessed in Cheshire, descended to our Poet as his eldest son.
