Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Stray Leaves of Literature "The old, so wisdom saith, Is better than the new, - Friends, like old wine, old books, old days, With age do ripen into mellower hue; And Time, for what he takes, full oft repays True hearts a hundred-fold." Contemporary critic has justly remarked, that, "if there is a fault in our present literary tastes, it is that they are too current. We are addicted to the books of the hour. We keep railway time in our reading; if we shut a little steam off occasionally, and allow ourselves to pause at a great author, we hurry on so much the faster, to make up for lost minutes." In the present day, the literature of fiction, and that not of the highest order, seems to monopolize three-fourths of the popular reading, and, as a matter of course, at the expense of works of accredited skill in history, biography, ethics, science, and philosophy.
