Excerpt from Collected Writings of Thomas De Quincey, Vol. 6 Knowledge on any subject; nor is its main Object that of delight to the reader by dreams and pictures of the poetical kind; nor does it seek merely to rouse and stimulate the feelings for active exertion of some sort 3 but, without any of these aims, or while perhaps studying one or other of them to some extent, it has in View always the solution of some problem, the investigation of some question, so as to effect a modification or advance of the existing doctrine on the subject. How firmly De Quincey held by this notion of the distinctive characteristic Of the Essay, as compared with other kinds of writing, appears from the striking word in which, after referring to the three above-named essays as examples of his own efforts in this line, he claims the merit of fidelity to his principle, in intention at least, in all his other efforts of the same general character. These speci mens, he says, meaning Cicero, The Caesars, and The Essenes, are sufficient for the purpose of informing the reader that.

Excerpt from The Collected Writings of Thomas De Quincey, Vol. 5 The first seven of the biographic sketches, it will be observed, relate to persons and subjects contemporary with De Quincey himself, so that in treating them he could draw from his own observations and recollections, and not merely, as in most of the biographies in last volume, from books and tradition. These seven, papers, accordingly, have been arranged pretty much in the order of their subjects. Dr. Parr comes first, as, though quite within De Quincey's memory and known to De Quincey by actual contact, yet on the whole more an eighteenth-century Object than a figure of the nineteenth; Miss Hawkins's Anecdotes, though some of them are scraps from the J ohnsonian world of the eighteenth century prior to Parr's connexion with it, may follow Parr, as coming from the memory of a lady who was Parr's junior; after which, in the Marquess Wellesley, Coleridge, Lamb, Professor Wilson, and Sir William Hamilton, we are distinctly among De Quincey's coevals. The last four, indeed, were personal friends of his, of whom he had again and again made mention in his writings, and of three of whom, - Coleridge, Lamb, and Wilson, - we have already had sketches from him in his Autobiographic Reminiscences. This reappearance of Coleridge, Lamb, and Wilson in the present volume, to be sketched again, with Sir William Hamilton now in their company, is, indeed, a feature of the volume that cannot escape remark. It is worth some atten tion on De Quincey's own account. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Collected Writings of Thomas De Quincey, Vol. 1: Autobiography From 1785 to 1803 IT was in 1852 that De Quincey, who was then sixty-seven years of age, and had been resident in or near Edinburgh through the preceding five-and-twenty years, began the pre paration of a collective edition Of his writings, to be published by the Edinburgh house of Mr. James Hogg. The scheme of such a collective edition had been anticipated by the American publishing firm of Messrs. Ticknor and Fields of Boston. A volume or two of their American edition had already appeared when De Quincey undertook the British edition.

Excerpt from The Collected Writings of Thomas De Quincey, Vol. 4: Biographies and Biographical Sketches The three preceding volumes contain those writings of De Quincey which collectively constitute his autobiography and literary reminiscences. They carry us on, in a general way, to about the year when De Quincey had become famous as The English opium-eater, a versatile contributor to London periodicals, but had returned to his home at Grasmere after unsatisfactory trials of residence in London, and had begun to think that, if ever he removed from Grasmere permanently, it must be to Edinburgh. While the volumes make vivid for us, however, the main course of his life to the date indicated, - when he was in the fortieth year of his age, - there are some particulars of his family history through the time traversed about which they have left us uninformed. It may be well, at the present point, to supply this defect, and at the same time to add such par ticulars of his later family history as may be required, by way of biographical accompaniment and elucidation, here and there, in the series of his writings generally. Of De Quincey's father we have heard a good deal. We can recollect him as the Manchester merchant, much of an invalid, who died in 1793, at the age of forty, when De Quincey was but a child. Of De Quincey's brothers and sisters we have also heard a good deal. There have been immortalised for us especially those two child-sisteis, Jane and Elizabeth, who had died before their father, so that De Quincey's memories of them survived but as mysterious gleams from his dreamy infancy. Nor are we likely to forget either his eldest and all-domineering brother, William. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
