Excerpt from Representative Names in the History of English Literature The wants of a busy age require some inexpensive book which shall furnish general information, together with a firm grasp of the movement in each field of effort. As auxiliary to our anthologies, dictionaries of authors, bibliographies, and manuals of literature, it has seemed not undesirable to have some vade mecum in which should be collected information otherwise accessible only by long and continuous labor. The plan adopted aims at an answer to the various rational questions which might be asked about an author as an author: when did he live, who were his contemporaries, what was his standpoint, what are his representative works, for what and how far can we trust him, Who vouched for his reliability, and what did he do to further the progress of literature? The selection of names has been made with reference to the authors whom the world has accepted as representative of English literature; as minor writers there have been added those whose services have an historical value. Literature has been understood in the strictest sense - the perfect adaptation of the form to the thought expressed; judg ment is pronounced from the aesthetic point of view, and not from that of Ethics, Politics, or Commerce; Oratory, Theology, Physics, and Metaphysics have been excluded except when their form has entitled them to literary recognition.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Representative English Prose and Prose Writers The present volume is offered as a contribution to the study of English Prose in its representative Historical Periods, in its representative Literary Forms and in some of its Representative Authors. That portion Of our prose is especially discussed that dates its beginning from the reign of Elizabeth in the writings of Bacon and Hooker and extends to the present decade in the pages Of Carlyle. This is English Prose Proper. As we advance, careful attention will be given to the discussion Of English Prose Style as visibly expressed in a few Of our prominent prose writers. The work will be literary, throughout, in its method, subject matter, and purpose, as distinct from that order of treatment that might be termed technical or speculative. A detailed account Of the life and times of the separateauthors examined will thus be aside from our main design, such allusions being made onlv in so far as they serve to cast light on the particular author's work as an author.

Excerpt from Tables of European History, Literature, Science, and Art, From A. D. 200 to 1888; And of American History, Literature, and Art V. An attempt has been made to indicate the importance of the author, potentate, or event by the size of the type. The accuracy of the judgment in this case must remain matter of Opinion. I am responsible in the columns of History and Litera ture my better informed Coadjutors in those of Science and Art. In the last two European Tables, largely concerned with contemporaries, a distinction which might be invidious has been abandoned, and all living writers or artists are printed in the same ordinary type. A rule has been made to include only those whose reputation has been established for at least ten years. In crowded departments of literature, as Romance, only representative names have been selected. A few are inserted rather in deference to popular judgment than in accordance with my own estimate. VI. Several names being repeated, sometimes at no great intervals, it has been considered essential to the pictorial representation aimed at, to distinguish by different colours, those associated with different nations. Practical obstacles have restricted the application of this rule; but it is hoped that the result will, even by the appear ance of the pages, convey some indication of the historic issues at stake. VII. When a writer has been very prominent in two departments, as of Science and Philosophy, or Literature and Art, as in the case of Leonardo da Vinci, Leibnitz, Descartes, and Pascal, his name appears in two columns. When his eminence in one eclipses that of his reputation in another, he appears, as in the case of Bacon and Galileo, only in that where he was pre - eminent. In rare instances a great name has been inserted, Slightly out of its exact place, at the head of the period which the author's influence seems to have dominated. The reception of the earlier editions has made me sensible at once of the utility of an undertaking, involving an amount of labour only inferior to that of compiling a dictionary, and of the hazards to which it is exposed. To many of my critics I am indebted for corrections of mistakes almost inevitable, and for supplying sometimes serious omissions. Others have made of an obviously rapid survey occasion to air crotchets, as that which regards it as a crime to speak of Ancient History, or of Charlemagne. It seems needful to state that the phrase English Literature here signifies Literature originating in England, and that in power indicates the period of a politician's greatest influence, in or out of office. To avoid cavil I now append the dates of the chief Prime Ministers, with the protest that I can only record the Chief. For details which, as expressly stated, are excluded from the design of the work, I refer my readers to the Annual Register.

Excerpt from The Cambridge History of English Literature, Vol. 9 HE present volume, we hope, will shortly be followed by the tenth, dealing with the age of Johnson. As the canvas grows more crowded, we must ask our readers to take note that the grouping of writers, on the principles which we have endeavoured to follow in this work, makes it impossible, even were it desirable, to maintain a strict chronological order as to the inclusion of particular names in particular volumes. Thus, in the present volume, notices of several divines, and, again, of several dramatists, together with the mention of other names, have had to be reserved for its successor.
