Excerpt from Studies in Some Famous Letters I will only add that, in venturing to publish a volume of this sort, I have had one principal consideration in my mind. It is that, as it seems to me, Letters, whether regarded simply as a form of Literature, or as affording not the least sure material for the study of character, have not, at the present time, as many readers as they may fairly claim to deserve. I hope I have not neglected their purely literary importance, but my more immediate object has certainly been to piece together, as far as may be, the scattered fragments of self-portraiture, which are to be found in every collection of Letters. The picture, with which they provide us, cannot, perhaps, be of the quite finished and full-length order: but it should at least not fail to give us the authentic outlines, faithfully sketched, of the characters and characteristics of some men and women in whom the world will always take a natural and legitimate interest.

Excerpt from Studies in Some Famous Letters Of the following Essays, two - those on Lady Mary Wortley Montagu and on Edward FitzGerald - first appeared in "The Quarterly Review"; one - that on Gray - in "Murray's Magazine"; the study of Cowper in "Macmillan's Magazine"; and that of Gibbon in the "Fortnightly Review." A few slight alterations and corrections have been made in reprinting them. With these exceptions, they are republished in their original form; and, for permission to do this, I am indebted, in the several cases, to the courtesy of Mr. Murray, Messrs. Macmillan & Co., and Messrs. Chapman & Hall, which I take this opportunity of acknowledging. The Essays on Swift, Johnson, and Lamb appear now for the first time.

Excerpt from Letters and Letter Writing: As Means to the Study and Practice of English Composition This book has been prepared in the belief that there is a place for the emphasis of heretofore undeveloped possibilities in composition writing, and that contributions yet to be made to the teaching of English will consist of chapters on single topics thoroughly treated, rather than of books covering the whole subject and containing a re-statement of what has already been so well and so satisfactorily said. The specimen letters in Part I commend themselves by their own value; many of them have not before been given to the general public; some of them are old and very well known; all of them are precious. The annotated list of letters at the end of this part calls attention to many letters not given in the text. The work in Part II aims to show what practical use can be made of the letters in Part I, as models for composition through letter-writing, and to illustrate the adequacy of the epistolary forms for securing ease and fluency in written expression. It further aims to show that the average school situation through its studies, through the experiences of its student life, and through the larger social life surrounding it, is rich in genuine motives for letters.

Excerpt from Initial Studies American Letters This volume, originally published in 1887 as An Out line Sketch of American Literature, and reissued under the present title in 1891, with an appendix consisting of selections from representative American writers, is in tended as a companion to the historical sketch of English literature, entitled From Chaucer to Tennyson, pub lished in 1886 (revised edition for the Chautauqua Circle. It has now (1895) been asecond time revised and supplied with marginal catch-words for convenient refer ence. I have also added a few paragraphs to the final chapter, to bring the subject up to date. In writing it I have followed the same plan, aiming to present the sub jcet' in a sort of continuous essay rather than in the form of a primer or elementary manual. I have not under taken to describe, or even to mention, every American author or book of importance, but only those which seemed to me of most significance. Nevertheless I believe that the sketch contains enough detail to make it of some use as a guide-book to our literature. Though meant to be mainly a history of American belles-lettres, it makes some mention of historical and political writings, but hardly any of philosophical, scientific, and technical works.

Excerpt from Italica: Studies in Italian Life and Letters In gathering into a volume these bye-products of the past ten or twelve years, I am not unmindful of their fugitive character. But even fugitives may be message-bearers. And there are some subjects which must be treated swiftly or not at all, if the passing aspect is to be caught with the freshness, vividness, and bias which belong to it. Several of the following papers contain information about contemporary Italians and the recent conditions of Italy that may not be easily accessible elsewhere to readers in English. Others record friendships, personal or literary. Others, again, spring out of enthusiasms, still unquenched, or were inspired by some feature of that Enchanted Land, whose beauty is inexhaustible and whose boundless interests touch, and will always touch, men and women who perceive the deepest concerns of the human soul.

Excerpt from The Fortunes of Words: Letters to a Lady It would be altogether superfluous to dis course to you upon the importance of these studies. They have always been very impor tant, since studies in words are, after all, studies in things. Besides, they sharpen one's mind and accustom it to observation, comparison, fine analysis and subtle discrimination. In the words of Scaliger, the great antiquarian and philolo gist, the sifting of these subtleties, although it is of no use to make machines for grinding corn, frees the mind from the rust of ignorance, and sharpens it for other matters. But now, in the light of modern researches and methods, it isa new world entirely that opens before us. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
