Excerpt from De Quincey The Farm, and then at Greenbay, a country house built by his father, and at that time still outside the spreading Circle of the city.' Here, in one or the other Of these quiet retreats, he felt the earliest impressions of the glory Of life and the pathos of life's withdrawal - that ever lasting contrast which has been so marvellously depicted by him.2 Living in the country, he says, I was naturally first laid hold Of by rural appearances or incidents. The very earliest feel ings that I recall Of a powerful character were connected with some Clusters of crocuses in the garden. Next I felt a passion of grief in a pro found degree for the death Of a beautiful bird, a kingfisher, which had been taken up in the garden with a broken wing. That occurred before I was two years of age. Next I felt, no grief at all, but awe the most enduring, and a dawning sense of the infinite, which brooded over me more or less after that time. Let the student Of De Quincey mark well that dawning sense Of the infinite, for therein lies the Clue to a full understanding of his genius and writings.

Excerpt from Personal Recollections of Thomas De Quincey Some explanation of the origin of this little volume may be expected and permitted. An elegant edition of the Confessions of an English Opium-Eater has lately appeared, to which are appended some interesting notes of conversations with De Quincey from the pen of a Mr. Richard Woodhouse, barrister of the Temple, a young man of literary tastes, who, says Mr. Garnett, "himself wrote nothing for publication, but mingled with the brilliant literary circle which, about the year 1820, gathered round Messrs. Taylor and Hessey, publishers of the London Magazine, in which the Confessions originally appeared." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Beauties: Selected From the Writings of Thomas De Quincey The writings of Thomas de Quincey occupy more than a score of volumes. Comparatively few persons have leisure for the pereusal of so many miscellaneous works by the same author; yet, all who pretend to a knowledge of English Literature should be familiar with the chefs-d' uvre of De Quincey - one of the greatest masters of the English Language. His autobiography, scattered through many volumes, is here collected and so arranged as to give a complete view of his early life and his peculiar character. The other selections from his various works, furnish striking examples of the pathetic and the humorous, the quaint and the ludicrous, the serious and the sublime. The miscellaneous nature of De Quincey's writings renders them specially fit for this kind of eclecticism. It is hoped that the present volume will prove an acceptable addition to our current literature, and induce a desire for a still farther acquaintance with the elegant author.

Excerpt from Thomas De Quincey: A Study Reminiscences, has left a charming sketch. I have often found him at home, wrote Hood, then a sub-editor of the London Magazine, doubtless on a quest for copy, ' I have often found him quite at home, in the midst of a German ocean of Literature in a storm flooding all the floor, the table and the Chairs billows of books tossing, tumbling, surging, open on such occasions I have willingly listened by the hour, whilst the Philosopher, standing, with his eyes fixed on one side of the room, seemed to be less speaking than reading from a handwriting on the wall.' Now and then he would diverge for a Scotch mile or two to the right or left, till I was tempted to inquire with Peregrine in 'john Bull, ' Do you never deviate? But he always came safely back to the point where he had left, not lost the scent, and thence hunted his topic to the end. But look! We are in the small hours, and a change comes o'er the spirit of that old familiar face.' A faint hectic tint leaves the check, the eyes are a degree dimmer, and each is surrounded by a growing shadow signs of the waning influence of that Potent Drug whose stupendous Pleasures and enormous Pains have been so eloquently described by the English opium-eater.

Excerpt from Selections From De Quincey: Edited With an Introduction This volume contains - besides the Confessions, several of the Snspz'rz'a, and other popular pieces the most impor tant parts of De Quincey's Antooz'ogmp/zz'o Sketoizes and some of his most interesting Literary Romz'nz'soenoos. It is hoped that the selections will serve to illustrate pretty fully De Quincey's varied literary activity, while at the same time they throw light upon his life and character. A portion of the Introduction is devoted to the study of his personality. The text adopted is, except in the case of the Confessions, the latest to which De Quincey gave his approval. For the use of the original Confessions in place of the greatly enlarged version of 1856, there appears to be a better excuse than that of brevity. As will be pointed out in the Introduction, it is at least a question whether the earlier form had not the preference of the author himself.

Excerpt from Thomas De Quincey, Vol. 14 It remains for the present volume to conclude the series of De Quincey's Miscellanea and to add whatever else may be necessary for the completion of the edition. The paper entitled Education of Boys in Large Numbers dates from as far back as 1824, when it appeared in the "London Magazine." One hardly knows why, among De Quincey's numerous contributions to that once famous periodical, this particular paper should have been so long overlooked. He seems to have attached some value to it himself; it attracted some notice at the time; and it is of some intrinsic interest still, both as a history of a notable experiment in the art of school-management seventy years ago by a family of great subsequent celebrity on other grounds, and also as an exposition of not a few ideas of De Quincey's own on the subject of Education. The most pungent portion of it in this latter respect is the censure which it contains of the traditional methods of teaching Latin and Greek. By chronological accident it chances that the three papers which follow are all translations from Kant. The first of these, entitled Kant on National Character in Relation to the Sense of the Sublime and Beautiful, is another of De Quincey's old contributions to the "London Magazine," and, though not reprinted by himself in his Collective Edition of his writings, was added in 1871 in one of the supplementary volumes to the reissue of that edition.

Excerpt from The Works of Thomas De Quincey, Vol. 9: Riverside Edition 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 and 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 Select Essays of Thomas De Quincey, Vol. 1: Narrative Imaginative No liberties have been taken with De Quincey's text. The papers are printed exactly as De Quincey left them after his final revision Of them for the Collective Edition of his works, all his own footnotes included. Even in the particulars of paragraphing and punctuation there has been no change. De Quincey had strict rules of his own in such matters; and, in the case of so scholarly and careful a writer, the preservation of his own paragraphing and pointing, even where they might not quite accord with the notions of the editor, has seemed, accordingly, a duty.
