Excerpt from Biographical and Historical Essays The paper on Professor Wilson has not before been printed in the American edition, and it is intended in a subsequent volume to reprint an interesting series of reminiscences on the same subject not hitherto pub lished either in the Scotch or in the American edition. The saucy paper on Wilhelm Meister, and the final paper on Anecdotage also, both appear in America for the first time in this edition.

Excerpt from Historical and Biographical Essays, Vol. 1 of 2 The many additions in the present publication are meant to give to that design greater scope and fullness. They are most considerable in the memoirs of steele and foote and in the latter more especially an attempt by means of them has been made to render more complete the picture of a series of comic writings, which are not more remarkable for character and wit than for their vivid and humorous presentment of English vices and foibles in the later half of the eighteenth century, but which accidental causes may probably for ever shut out from the place they might have claimed to occupy in the literature of England.

Excerpt from Biographical and Critical Essays: Reprinted From Reviews, With Additions There is a comic History of England. Why might there not be an anecdotical one, in which the salient points should be placed in broad relief by memorable sayings and striking incidents - by well-chosen traits of valour, virtue, patriotism, eloquence, and wit? There is no pleasanter mode of conveying knowledge, no surer mode of durably impressing it. The most fugitive attention is caught by anecdotes: the most volatile mind retains them so long as it retains anything; and none but the shallowest will miss the moral they point, the reflections they suggest, or the conclusions they justify.

Excerpt from Biographical Essays These papers I am anxious to put into the hands of your house, and, so far as regards the U. S., of your house exclusively; not with any view to further emolument, but as an acknowledgment of the services which you have already rendered me; namely, first, in having brought together so widely scattered a collection - a difficulty which in my own hands by too painful an experience I had found from nervous depression to be absolutely insurmountable; secondly, in having made me a participator in the pecuniary profits of the American edition, without solicitation or the shadow of any expectation on my part, without any legal claim that I could plead, or equitable warrant in established usage, solely and merely upon your own spontaneous motion. Some of these new papers, I hope, will not be without their value in the eyes of those who have taken an interest in the original series. But at all events, good or bad, they are now tendered to the appropriation of your individual house, the Messrs. Ticknor & Fields, according to the amplest extent of any power to make such a transfer that I may be found to possess by law or custom in America. I wish this transfer were likely to be of more value. But the veriest trifle, interpreted by the spirit in which I offer it, may express my sense of the liberality manifested throughout this transaction by your honorable house.

Excerpt from Essays, Historical and Biographical, Political, Social, Literary, and Scientific Unusual as it is to republish newspaper articles, no apology is deemed necessary in presenting this volume to the public. At the time of Mr Hugh Miller's death, it was felt that a large proportion of his contributions to the "Witness" deserved a permanent place in the literature of his country. They were recognised as distinguished - both by their literary merit and their sterling value - from the fugitive and ephemeral productions of every-day journalism. Assuming the conduct of a newspaper in the maturity of his powers, and in the plenitude of his literary and scientific information, Mr Miller's habit of composition was entirely different from that of ordinary ready writers of the press. As was correctly remarked at the time of his death, "he did not work easy, but with laborious special preparation."

Excerpt from Essays Historical and Biographical No sooner had the news of my brother's death spread last November than several requests were made that a selection of his sermons should be published. One friend, however, suggested that, as he had in a pre eminent degree the gift of sketching character and setting it forth with its surroundings, a volume of sketches should be issued first. The following have been selected from among many more. From the time when he studied in Berlin under Neander till his latest days he cultivated this gift. He lived among the heroes of the past, and yet no man ever took a deeper interest in the men around him. Goethe said of Shakespeare's characters that they are like watches with transparent faces. You not only see the hands pointing to the dial, but you see the working of the machinery inside. Much of the same nature are the sketches in this volume. We have included sketches of reformers, of missionaries, of poets, and of cotemporaries. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Essays Political and Biographical MY father told me once that one of his earliest recol lections was of a visit to the new house which my grand father had bought at Ealing. He must have been about four or five years old at the time, and, to a child born in the neighbourhood of Lincoln's Inn, the small house standing in green fields with the purple wisteria climb ing up over one side appeared an earthly paradise. The deep meaning of the occasion was enhanced by my grandfather's first great confidence. He told his little son that although my grandmother was aware of the purchase, and that the house was being made ready for occupation, she did not know that a certain room on the ground floor with a window on the garden was being made into a boudoir for her use. My father, exhorted to preserve the utmost secrecy, was taken into this room and consulted as to the choice of a paper. He did not know till long afterwards that the country house (for Ealing was in the country then) had been bought because he was so delicate a child that my grandparents feared they would not rear him in the London atmosphere. Thirty years later, when I first remember. The place, London had crept along the Uxbridge Road almost as far as Acton, and the Common was already surrounded with buildings. Now, of course, it is London all the way, and the terminus of the District Railway. But when first I knew it my grandfather's place was perhaps much the same as it had been in my father's childhood.

Excerpt from Biographical, Literary, and Philosophical Essays By the principles of our undertaking, we are pledged not to advance any opinions on the grand controversy be tween the religious establishment of our country and the dissenters from its communion - or more precisely, we are engaged to avoid discussing the abstract propriety of an establishment, and also the propriety of that form of it now existing in the country. These are ques tions, it is true, quite distinct from the conduct of the established church, or any of its distinguished members, as political agents in the transactions of a history. Viewed in this light, their operations, their influence, their vir tues, or their vices, are just as fair subjects of observation as those of any other of the agents, involved in our na tional history. But it is not certain that we can exercise our right to this undoubted extent without giving consider able off'ence. Even at this liberal period, there are some whom it would be hard to avoid offending, and in whose opinions we should scarcely seem to preserve our pledged neutrality, while condemning the violent and fatal intoler ance of the church during the reigns of the Jameses and Charleses, though it be evidently impossible to discuss the merits, or even to narrate the events of those reigns without it.'
