Excerpt from Collected Writings of Thomas De Quincey, Vol. 6 Knowledge on any subject; nor is its main Object that of delight to the reader by dreams and pictures of the poetical kind; nor does it seek merely to rouse and stimulate the feelings for active exertion of some sort 3 but, without any of these aims, or while perhaps studying one or other of them to some extent, it has in View always the solution of some problem, the investigation of some question, so as to effect a modification or advance of the existing doctrine on the subject. How firmly De Quincey held by this notion of the distinctive characteristic Of the Essay, as compared with other kinds of writing, appears from the striking word in which, after referring to the three above-named essays as examples of his own efforts in this line, he claims the merit of fidelity to his principle, in intention at least, in all his other efforts of the same general character. These speci mens, he says, meaning Cicero, The Caesars, and The Essenes, are sufficient for the purpose of informing the reader that.

Excerpt from The Collected Writings of Thomas De Quincey, Vol. 1: Autobiography From 1785 to 1803 IT was in 1852 that De Quincey, who was then sixty-seven years of age, and had been resident in or near Edinburgh through the preceding five-and-twenty years, began the pre paration of a collective edition Of his writings, to be published by the Edinburgh house of Mr. James Hogg. The scheme of such a collective edition had been anticipated by the American publishing firm of Messrs. Ticknor and Fields of Boston. A volume or two of their American edition had already appeared when De Quincey undertook the British edition.

Excerpt from The Collected Writings of Thomas De Quincey, Vol. 5 The first seven of the biographic sketches, it will be observed, relate to persons and subjects contemporary with De Quincey himself, so that in treating them he could draw from his own observations and recollections, and not merely, as in most of the biographies in last volume, from books and tradition. These seven, papers, accordingly, have been arranged pretty much in the order of their subjects. Dr. Parr comes first, as, though quite within De Quincey's memory and known to De Quincey by actual contact, yet on the whole more an eighteenth-century Object than a figure of the nineteenth; Miss Hawkins's Anecdotes, though some of them are scraps from the J ohnsonian world of the eighteenth century prior to Parr's connexion with it, may follow Parr, as coming from the memory of a lady who was Parr's junior; after which, in the Marquess Wellesley, Coleridge, Lamb, Professor Wilson, and Sir William Hamilton, we are distinctly among De Quincey's coevals. The last four, indeed, were personal friends of his, of whom he had again and again made mention in his writings, and of three of whom, - Coleridge, Lamb, and Wilson, - we have already had sketches from him in his Autobiographic Reminiscences. This reappearance of Coleridge, Lamb, and Wilson in the present volume, to be sketched again, with Sir William Hamilton now in their company, is, indeed, a feature of the volume that cannot escape remark. It is worth some atten tion on De Quincey's own account. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Collected Writings of Thomas De Quincey, Vol. 12 A kind communication received from a correspondent enables us to correct this mistake. De Quincey's Fatal Marksman, it obligingly informs us, is from the German of J. A. Apel, and is not the only existing English translation of the original story by that author, - another having appeared, under the title of Der Freisclnitz or The Magic Ball9, in a volume of "Tales of the Wild and Wonderful" published in 1825 by Hurst, Robinson, & Co. of London. With the help of the clue so furnished, we have ascertained the following particulars: - In the first volume of the Gespcnsterbuch, or Book of Ghost Stories, published at Leipsig in 1810-14 by Johann August Apel (1771-1816), in conjunction with Friedrich August Schulz, another popular German author of that date, but writing always under the assumed name of Friedrich Laun (1770-1849), there appeared Der Freischiitz, a story of Apel's, which soon afterwards became immortal by being used by Weber's friend Friedrich Kind for the libretto of Weber's famous opera, first produced in Berlin in 1822. To the popularity of this opera must be due the fact that there were two early translations of Apel's story into English. But Dc Quincey's translation was earlier by two years than that mentioned by our correspondent; for, having looked by mere accident into an anonymous three-volume collection of "Popular Tales and Romances of the Northern Nations," published in 1823 by Simpkin and Marshall of London, there, to our surprise, in vol. iii, we found De Quincey's Fatal Markman, exactly as we now have it, both title and text, but without the name of either the original author or the translator. The inference is that one of De Quincey's little commercial asides in 1823, when he was at his busiest in writing for the London Magazine, was this contribution to a collection of Tales from the German, and that, having a copy of it beside him in 1859, he thought it then worth reprinting just as it stood.

Excerpt from The Collected Writings of Thomas De Quincey, Vol. 4: Biographies and Biographical Sketches The three preceding volumes contain those writings of De Quincey which collectively constitute his autobiography and literary reminiscences. They carry us on, in a general way, to about the year when De Quincey had become famous as The English opium-eater, a versatile contributor to London periodicals, but had returned to his home at Grasmere after unsatisfactory trials of residence in London, and had begun to think that, if ever he removed from Grasmere permanently, it must be to Edinburgh. While the volumes make vivid for us, however, the main course of his life to the date indicated, - when he was in the fortieth year of his age, - there are some particulars of his family history through the time traversed about which they have left us uninformed. It may be well, at the present point, to supply this defect, and at the same time to add such par ticulars of his later family history as may be required, by way of biographical accompaniment and elucidation, here and there, in the series of his writings generally. Of De Quincey's father we have heard a good deal. We can recollect him as the Manchester merchant, much of an invalid, who died in 1793, at the age of forty, when De Quincey was but a child. Of De Quincey's brothers and sisters we have also heard a good deal. There have been immortalised for us especially those two child-sisteis, Jane and Elizabeth, who had died before their father, so that De Quincey's memories of them survived but as mysterious gleams from his dreamy infancy. Nor are we likely to forget either his eldest and all-domineering brother, William. 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.
