Excerpt from The Modern British Plutarch The limited space assigned to each biography compelled the Compiler to select only the most salient traits of character, and to dwell only on such events as had a public and historical impor tance. In describing the career of statesmen, he has been careful to abstain from any manifestation of political bias or party feeling, and has therefore avoided giving any Opinion on questions that yet remain within the arena of controversy. He has been more anxious to set forth facts as a narrator, than to set himself up as a dictator to the judg ment, or even a guide to Opinion.

Excerpt from The Modern British Plutarch When the plan of this work was proposed to the Author by the Publishers, he felt that it was likely to supply a deficiency which he had himself experienced. Intelligent young persons hear names, "familiar as household words" to their parents, but of which they themselves know nothing; for we all have a habit of speaking of the events with which we were cotemporary, or nearly so, as if they had the same notoriety for the young that they have for the old. This was the case with a beloved and affectionate child, whose inquiring mind led him frequently to ask for some particulars about the eminent men whose names he heard in the course of casual conversation. He felt a deep interest in the progress of the work; but it pleased Providence to remove him to another and a better world, before the volume was completed. It is sometimes forgotten that the eminent men who have departed from the stage of life within our memory, though they cease not to be cotemporaries for us, have become historical personages for our children, and that they require to be informed of all that we remember. Impressed with these views, the Author was induced to select the biographies of such men in the past and passing generation, as appeared to have had most influence in moulding the opinions and shaping the destinies of the British people.

Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives, Vol. 1 IF the merit of a work may be estimated from the universality of its reception, Plutarch's Lives have a claim to the first honours of lite rature. No book has been more generally sought after, or read with greater avidity. It was one of the first that were brought out of the retreats of the learned, and translated into the modern languages. Amiot, Abbe of Bellozane, published a French translation of it in the reign of Henry the Second; and from that work it, wast1ans lated into English, in the time of Queen Elizabeth.

Excerpt from The British Plutarch, Vol. 3 of 8: Containing the Lives of the Most Eminent Statesmen, Patriots, Divines, Warriors, Philosophers, Poets, and Artists, of Great Britain and Ireland, From the Accession of Henry VIII. To the Present Time Sir Philip Sidney gives the following character of this play Gorboduc is full offiatel-y fpeeches and well-founding phrafes, climbing to the height of' Seneca's fiyle and as full of notable morality, which it doth moft delightfully teach, and thereby obtains the very end of poetry. We may add; that whoever reads it with attention, and confiders the infant Rate of Englilh poetry at the time it was written (fome years before the appearance of Shakefpeare), mull allow, that it merited the pains taken by P0pe and Spence to retrieve it from obli vion, which they effected, by recommending it to: the manager of Drury-lane theatre in 1736, where it had a great run; and the fame year Mr. Spence publifhed a new edition, which is the heft.

Excerpt from The British Plutarch, Vol. 4 of 6: Containing the Lives of the Most Eminent Divines, Patriots, Statesmen, Warriors, Philosophers, Poets, and Artists, of Great Britain and Ireland, From the Accession of Henry VIII. To the Present Time I cannot refrain from attaching in a note a most splendid pas sage from Mr. Erskine's Speech upon Paine's Age of Reason, ' though perhaps familiar to many of my readers - But it seems. This is an Age of Reason, and the time and the person are at last arrived, that are to dissipate the errors, which have over spread the past generations of ignorance. The believers in Christianity are many; but it belongs to the few, that are wise, to correct their coedulity. Belief is an act of reason; and superior reason may, therefore, dictate to the weak. In running the mind along the list of sincere and devout Christians, I cannot help lamenting that newton had not lived to this day, to have had his shallowness filled up with this new flood 'of light. Bnt the subject is too aweful for irnny. I' will' speak plainly, and directly. Newton was a Christian: Newton, whose mind burst forth from the fetters fastened by nature upon on: finite conceptions; Newton, whose science was truth, and the foundation of whose knowledge of 'it was philosophy, not those visionary and arrogant presumptions which too often usurp it's name, but philosophy resting upon the basis of mathematics which like figures cannot lie; Newton, who carried the line and rule to the uttermost barriers of creation, and explored. The principle, by which all created matter exists and is held. Together. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives, Vol. 2 of 4: Translated From the Greek, With Notes and a Life of Plutarch For neither is avoidance of death blameable, if a man does not cling to his life from dishonourable motives; nor is exposure to peril honourable, if it springs from careless ness of life. For this reason Homer always brings the most daring and warlike heroes into battle well and beautifully armed, and the Greek lawgivers punish the man who throws away his Shield, but not him who throws away his Sword or spear, showing that it is each man's duty to take more care that he does not receive. Hurt himself, than to hurt the enemy, especially if he be the chief Of an army or city. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
