Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Manchester Quarterly, Vol. 13: A Journal of Literature and Art For lovers of our English literature the year just closed, 1893, is especially memorable. It is associated in their minds with distinctive anniversaries of the birthday and death day of two writers who have each contributed to the literature of their country a work which, by general consent, is held to be a "classic." Izaak Walton, who was born three hundred years ago, wrote more than one book; but for us he is the author of only one, the ever-delightful "Compleat Angler." Its genial humour and sweet philosophy have endeared it to every reader, and it, has been printed in all the forms that the press is capable of, from the dainty little pocket edition to the sumptuous quarto, rich with the loving elucidations of the artist and the annotator, and ennobled by the beautiful craft of the rand binder. To mark the tercentenary of its authors birth still another edition has been issued, "finely printed on hand-made paper, with the beautiful plates on Japanese vellum." It is thus that we honour Walton. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
