Excerpt from Contributions to the Edinburgh Review, Vol. 3 of 3 A great deal that should naturally come under this title has been unavoidably given already, under that of History; and more, I fear, may be detected under still less appropriate denominations. If any unwary readers have been thus unwittingly decoyed into Politics, while intent on more innocent studies, I can only hope that they will now take comfort, from finding how little of this obnoxious commodity has been left to appear in its proper colours; and also from seeing, from the decorous title now assumed, that all intention of engaging them in Party discussions is disclaimed. I do not think that I was ever a violent or (consciously) uncandid partisan; and at all events, ten years of honest abstinence and entire segregation from party contentions (to say nothing of the sobering effects of threescore antecedent years!), should have pretty much effaced the vestiges of such predilections, and awakened the least considerate to a sense of the exaggerations, and occasional unfairness, which such influences must almost unavoidably impart to political disquisitions. In what I now reprint I have naturally been anxious to select what seemed least liable to this objection: and though I cannot flatter myself that a tone of absolute, Judicial impartiality is maintained in all these early productions, I trust that nothing will be found in them that can suggest the idea either of personal animosity, or of an ungenerous feeling towards a public opponent. To the two first, and most considerable, of the following papers, indeed, I should wish particularly to refer, as fair exponents both of the principles I think I have always maintained, and of the temper in which I was generally disposed to maintain them. In some of the others a more vehement and contentious tone may no doubt be detected. But as they touch upon matters of permanent interest and importance, and advocate opinions which I still think substantially right, I have felt that it would be pusillanimous now to suppress them, from a poor fear of censure, which, if just, I cannot but know that I deserve - or a still poorer distrust of those allowances which I have no reason to think will be withheld from me by the better part of my readers.

Excerpt from Contributions to the Edinburgh Review, Vol. 1 of 3 No reasonable man, I suppose, could contemplate with out alarm, a project for reprinting, with his name, a long series of miscellaneous papers - written hastily, in the intervals of graver occupations, and published anonymously, during the long course of F otty precede ing years I - especially if, before such a suggestion was made, he had come to be placed in a Situation which made any recurrence to past indiscretions, or rash judg meats, peculiarly unbecoming. I expect therefore to be very readily believed, when I say that the project of this publication did not originate, and never would have originated With me: And that I have been in duced to consent to it, only after great hesitation; and not Without misgivings - which have not yet been entirely got over.

Excerpt from Contributions to the Edinburgh Review, Vol. 2 of 3 But though a poet is thus likely to be a gentler critic of poetry than another, zmd, by having a finer sense of its beauties, to be better qualified for the most pleasing and important part of his office, there is another requi site in which we should be afraid he would generally be fhund wanting, especially in a work of the large and comprehensive nature of that now before us we mean, in absolute fairness and impartiality towards the different schools or styles of poetry which he may have occasion to estimate and compare. Even the most common and miscellaneous reader has a peculiar taste in this way and has generally erected for himself some obscure but exclusive standard of excellence, by which he measures the pretensions of all that come under his view. One man admires witty and satirical poetry, and sees no beauty in rural imagery or picturesque description; while another doats on Idyls and Pastorals, and will not allow the affairs of polite life to form a subject for verse. One is for simplicity and pathos; another for magnifi cence and splendour. One is devoted to the Muse of terror; another to that of love. Some are all for blood and battles, and some for music and moonlight some for emphatic sentiments, and some for melodious verses. Liven those whose taste is the least cxclusix c, hate u6 campbell - fair To all the schools or poetry. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Critical and Historical Essays, Contributed to the Edinburgh Review, Vol. 3 of 3 William was an infant when the civil war broke out; and, while he was still in his rudiments, a Presbyterian hierarchy and a republican government were established on the ruins of the ancient church and throne.01d Mr. Wycherley was attached to the royal cause, and was not disposed to intrust the education of his heir to the solemn Puritans who now ruled the universities and public schools. Accordine the young gentleman was sent at dilceu to France. He resided some time in the neighbourhood of the Duke of Montausier, l chief of one of the noblest families of Touraine. The Duke's wife, a daughter of the house of Rambouillet, was a finished specimen of those talents and ac complishments for which her race was celebrated. The young foreigner was introduced to the splendid circle which surrounded the duchess, and there he appears to have learned some good and some evil. In a few years he returned to his country a fine gentleman and a Papist. His conversion, it may safely be afirmed, was the effect not of any strong impression on his understanding, or feelings, but partly of intercourse with agreeable society in which the Church of Rome was the fashion, and partly of that aversion to Calvinistic austerities which was then almost universal among young Englishmen of parts spirit, and which, at one time, seemed likely to make one half of them Catholics, and the other half Atheists.
