Excerpt from The Pageant of English Prose: Being Five Hundred Passages by Three Hundred and Twenty-Five Authors This collection of specimens of English prose is a companion volume to The Pageant of English Poetry. It consists of 500 passages by 325 authors, ranging, from John de Trevisa (1326) to 'Fiona Macleod' (1905), over a period of upwards of five centuries. With all English prose as one's province, the difficulty of selection is obvious, but it must not be hastily supposed that short passages cannot do justice to an author. Sir Walter Ralegh is not the only one of whom it may be said, in Mr. Edmund Gosse's words, 'he is essentially to be read in extracts and admired in purple patches.' Sir Sidney Colvin says of Landor, for instance: 'His perfect instinct for the rhythms and harmonies of prose reveals itself as fully in three lines as in a hundred.' It is indeed surprising how often an author's characteristics may be as adequately shown in a paragraph as in half a dozen pages. The authors have been placed in alphabetical order, as in The Pageant of English Poetry; experience having shown that this arrangement possesses a balance of advantages. No one reads an anthology such as this at one fell swoop, from cover to cover. It is a book to be dipped into as opportunity offers, or fancy dictates; and the alphabetical order, supplemented by a chronological list of authors and proper indexes, is by far the most convenient for casual consultation. A pageant is not necessarily a procession: it may be simply a display in which a great variety is shown. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Specimens of English Prose-Writers, Vol. 1 of 3: From the Earliest Times to the Close of the Seventeenth Century, With Sketches Biographical and Literary, Including an Account of Books as Well as of Their Authors, With Occasional Criticisms, &C Moreover, the work comprises an account of, and extracts from, most of the ancient chroniclers. And historians who have written in English. The principles by which I have generally been influenced in my choice of extracts have been, to select passages curious or remarkable, as relating directly to the subject of language; as possessing intrinsic value as examples of style; as characteristic of the author; or as distinctive of the manners and sentiments of the age. In writers of continuous reasoning. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
