Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Sunday Library, Vol. 5: Or, the Protestant´s Manual for the Sabbath-Day, Being a Selection of Sermons From Eminent Divines of the Church of England, Chiefly Within the Last Half Century; With Occasional Biographical Sketches and Notes From his Works, published in 1787. 8vo. 6 Vols. Second Edition. The bench of English Bishops may justly number the eminent prelate, whose name stands above, among its brightest ornaments. His services, not less to the cause of literature in general than to his profession in particular, were on all occasions opportune and substantial; - at the same time that they were adorned and upheld by a purity of life and suavity of manners than which nothing could have been more exemplary. The two great works by which Bishop Newton´s name will more decidedly go down to posterity, are, his Dissertation on the Prophecies, and his edition of the Poetical Works of Milton: the latter, a master-piece of its kind; and first appearing in 1749, in two splendid quarto volumes. This first publication contained only the Paradise Lost. In due time (1752) it was succeeded by the Paradise Regained and the Minor Poems, in one quarto volume. This was not only the first regular Variorum edition of Milton´s poetical works, - enriched with much choice information from Warburton, Jortin, Pearce, and others, - but embodying all that was valuable in previous annotators, including the Essays of Addison.
