Excerpt from The Literature of the Georgian Era Ta] following lectures by Professor Minto on The Literature of the Georgian Era were origi nally delivered, not to the Arts students whom he addressed in the University class-room, but to a special audience brought together in the Music Hall of Aberdeen, under the auspices of the Local Examination Committee of the Senatus Academicus. This will explain why some points are heated in greater detail than would have been necesmry in addressing advanced students. As explained in the Introduction, to Mr. John B. Lobhan belongs the credit - as he had all the labor - of looking up and copying out the illus trative extracts from the authors referred to or criticized by his master.

Excerpt from Wits Beaux and Beauties of the Georgian Era Before proceeding to give an account of some of the wits, beaux, and beauties of the Georgian Era it may be well to remind the reader of certain conspicuous differences between the "Town" and people of that day and the London and Londoners with which we are familiar. Some of these points of difference are only incidentally alluded to in the following pages; and the characters dealt with will perhaps be better understood if we provide ourselves at the outset with a clearer idea of their surroundings. It is well to remember that at the beginning of the Georgian Era a person might reach the open country from any part of the "Town" in a quarter of an hour. A wealthy suburb, indeed, had already sprung up in the West, as far as Hyde Park; but Chelsea, Paddington, and Marylebone, were fields, dotted here and there with farms and hamlets. North of Gray's Inn, all was open fields; and the residents of Bloomsbury enjoyed an uninterrupted view of the Highgate and Hampstead hills. Hackney, a favourite suburban retreat, was then growing into a small town. Hoxton and Islington were large villages.

Excerpt from Noble Dames and Notable Men of the Georgian Era The reader will be in little danger of supposing me to imply that the Georgian era did not produce nobler dames and more notable men than any I have included in the present volume. Nevertheless, it may perhaps be advisable for me to point out that the subjects of the six character sketches here brought together have been selected because, in addition to the interest of their several life histories, they all exhibit some peculiarity, or quaintness, or eccentricity, of mind and behaviour, such as would have caused our forebears to dub them emphatically characters.

Excerpt from Comedy Queens of the Georgian Era This book does not profess to be a theatrical history. It is simply a series Of biographical sketches of some of the most prominent English comedy actresses Of the Georgian period. As Leigh Hunt remarked, most people are more eager to hear of actors and actresses than of the members of other professions, and in reading accounts Of them most Of us incline more to the comic than the tragic, and more to the women than the men. But a record Of the strictly professional career of an actor or actress is apt to become a mere dry chronicle of successive representations. I have therefore dealt with these ladies, so far as was possible, more from the private than the professional point of view; and I hope that, in addition to the interest Of the separate personalities, these brief biographies may be found to have a further interest as a series of character sketches Of a dozen representative women who, in the course Of the eighteenth century, attained to eminence in the only profession then open to their sex. There is also another reason for dealing with them from the personal rather than from the professional standpoint. Colley Cibber lamented that the animated graces Of the player.

Excerpt from Georgian Poetry, 1911-1912 Few readers have the leisure or the zeal to investigate each volume as it appears; and the process Of recog nition is Often slow. This collection, drawn entirely from the publications of the past two years, may if it is fortunate help the lovers Of poetry to realize that we are at the beginning Of another Georgian period which may take rank in due time with the several great poetic ages Of the past. It has no pretension to cover the field. Every reader will notice the absence of poets whose work would be a necessary ornament Of any anthology not limited by a definite aim. Two years ago some Of the writers repre sented had published nothing; and only a very few of the others were known except to the eagerest watch ers of the skies. Those few are here because within the chosen period their work seemed to have gained some accession of power.

Excerpt from Georgian Poetry, 1913-1915 A few of the contributors to the former volume are not represented in this one, either because they have published nothing which comes within its scope, or because they belong in fact to an earlier poetic genera tion, and their inclusion must be allowed to have been an anachronism.

Excerpt from Georgian Poetry, 1920-1922 This, in the words of Pirate Smee, was a kind of a compliment, but it was also, to quote the same hero, galling; and I have wished for an opportunity of disowning the pretension which I found attributed to me of setting up as a pundit, or a pontifi, or a Petronius Arbiter; for I have neither the sure taste, nor the exhaustive reading, nor the ample leisure which would be necessary in any such role. The origin of these books, which is set forth in the memoir of Rupert Brooke, was simple and humble. I found, ten years ago, that there were a number of writers doing work which appeared to me extremely good, but which was narrowly known and I thought that anyone, however unprofessional and meagrely gifted, who presented a conspectus of it in a challenging and manageable form might be doing a good turn both to the poets and to the reading public. So, I think I may claim, it proved to be. The first volume seemed to supply a want. It was eagerly bought the con tinuation of the affair was at once taken so much for granted as to be almost unavoidable; and there hasbeen no break in the demand for the successive books. If they have won for themselves any position, there is no possible reason except the pleasure they have given. Having entered upon a course of disclamation, I should like to make a mild protest against a further charge that Georgian Poetry has merely encouraged a small clique of mutually indistinguishable poetasters to abound in their own and each other's sense or nonsense. It is natural that the poets of a generation should have points in common but to my fond eye those who have graced these collections look as diverse as sheep to their shepherd, or the members of a Chinese family to their uncle; and if there is an allegation which I would deny wit/j both bandr, it is this: that an insipid sameness is the chief characteristic of an anthology which offers - to name almost at random seven only out of forty (oh ominous academic number - the work of Messrs. Abercrombie, Davies, de la Mare, Graves, Lawrence, Nichols and Squire. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
