Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Yorick´s Sentimental Journey Continued, Vol. 1: To Which Is Prefixed Some Account of the Life of Mr. Sterne The following sheets are not presented to the Public as the offspring of Mr. Sterne´s pen. The Editor has, however, compiled this Continuation of his Sentimental Journey, from motives, and upon such authority, as, he flatters himself, will form a sufficient apology to his readers for its publication. The abrupt manner in which the second volume concluded, seemed forcibly to claim a sequel; and doubtless, if the author´s life had been spared, the world would have received it from his own hand, as he had materials already prepared. The intimacy which subsisted between Mr. Sterne and the Editor, gave the latter frequent occasion of hearing him relate the most remarkable incidents of the latter, part of his last journey, which made such an impression on him, that he thinks he has retained them so perfectly as to be able to commit them to paper. In doing this, he has endeavoured to imitate his friend´s style and manner; but how far he has been successful in this respect, he leaves the reader to determine. The work may now, however, be considered as complete; and the remaining curiosity of the readers of Yorick´s Sentimental Journey, will at least be gratified with respect to facts, events, and observations. The reader will not, probably, be displeased to find in this place, some account of the life and writings of Mr. Sterne.
