Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Whole Works of the Right Rev. Jeremy Taylor, Vol. 5 of 10 My Lord, When we make books and publish them, and by dedications implore the patronage of some worthy person, I find by experience that we cannot acquire that end which is pretended to by such addresses; for neither friendship nor power, interest or favour, can give those defences to a book which it needs: because the evil fortune of books comes from causes discernible indeed, but irremediable; and the breath of the people is like the voice of an exterminating angel, not so killing but so secret. But that´s not all; it is also as contingent as the smiles of an infant, or the fall of a die, which is determined by every part of motion which can be in any part of the hand or arm.
