Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from For Second Reading: Attempts to Please Putting together a volume of reprints is the simplest matter in the world; trouble begins only when you look for a title which shall be suitably descriptive. The choice might be easier if (as knowledgeable persons recommend) I had assembled sketches and studies with a reference in all to some vague caption - The Country, for instance, or The Town. Frankly, I dislike such groupings. A volume of essays is not a structure but a collection, and need pretend to no unity but such as is reflected from the varying moods and preoccupations of one mind. Lamb´s was the ideal title; "The Essays of Elia" is simple, is memorable, and perfectly describes the book. None of us, however, dare imitate that simplicity, and Lamb himself would not have ventured it without the screen of a pseudonym. Let me plead that my choice is candid and is modest, since it plainly warns my contingent patron, the not impossible purchaser, that what he is invited to buy is not new to print. Moreover, "For Second Reading" is a handy label. If liberty, perhaps amounting to perversion, has been taken with a parliamentary phrase, may not the transference be justified?
