These handy books to ancient classical literature are at the same time as attractive to the scholar as they ought to be to the English reader. We think, then, that they are destined to attain a wide and enduring cir­ culation, and we are quite sure that they deserve it.”— Westminster Review. “ We gladly avail ourselves of this opportunity to recommend the other volumes of this useful series, most of which are executed with discrimination and ability.” —Quarterly Review. “ A series which has done, and is doing, so much towards spreading among Englishmen intelligent and appreciative views of the chief classical authors.”— Standard. “ It is difficult to estimate too highly the value of such a series as this in giving ‘ English readers ’ an insight, exact as- far as it goes, into those olden times which are so remote and yet to many of us so close.”—Saturday Review.

It is not rash to say that this work is the first scientific treatment of the subject by an English writer. About the ability as well as the originality of the work there cannot be two opinions. The views pronounced are expressed iu terse, weighty, incisive dicta—sentences to be carried away as a geologist carries away a sample. It is the best English book on the subject.”—Observer. “As a history of English literature, the present work is characterised by several features that are novel. He has conceived a methodical plan for exhaus­ tive criticism, founded on the newest analysis o f the devices and the qualities of style. It is most elaborate and thorough in the conception, and is ex­ pounded with perfect clearness.”—Examiner. “ Mr Minto’s is no common book, but a very careful and well-considered survey of the wide field he traverses—a survey undertaken not without considerable criti­ cal competency and large equipment of knowledge.”—Scotsman.

Also papers of his only child surviving to adulthood, Mary Florence (1860-1902, married William Compton, fifth Marquess of Northampton), and their extended family, especially Louisa’s mother, the Hon. Mary Frederica Stewart Mackenzie of Seaforth (formerly Lady Hood) (1783-1862). These individuals are referred to below as Bingham, Harriet, Louisa, Mary and Mrs Stewart Mackenzie respectively. The importance of the papers lies in the enormous range of the correspondents: politicians British and French, writers, artists. Bingham was an MP from 1826 until he succeeded to the peerage, and this, as well as his family of bankers and politicians gave him a wide-ranging acquaintance. Harriet too was deeply interested in politics, and also knew many writers, presiding over a salon and conducting a large correspondence. Louisa was a well-known figure in society, especially in the artistic world. Mrs Stewart Mackenzie was a close friend of Sir Walter Scott. Particularly notable are the correspondences with Scott, Thomas and Jane Carlyle, Dr John Brown,

    The Life of Sir Richard Burton by Thomas Wright The Life of Sir Richard Burton by Thomas Wright This etext was scanned by JC Byers; proofread by Laura Shaffer. THE LIFE OF SIR RICHARD BURTON By THOMAS WRIGHT Author of "The Life of Edward Fitzgerald," etc. 2 Volumes in 1 This Work is Dedicated to Sir Richard Burton's Kinsman And Friend, Major St. George Richard Burton, The Black Watch. page 1 / 640 Preface. Fifteen years have elapsed since the death of Sir Richard Burton and twelve since the appearance of the biography of Lady Burton. A deeply pathetic interest attaches itself to that book. Lady Burton was stricken down with an incurable disease. Death with its icy breath hung over her as her pen flew along the paper, and the questions constantly on her lips were "Shall I live to complete my task? Shall I live to tell the world how great and noble a man my husband was, and to refute the calumnies that his enemies have so industriously circulated?" She did complete it in a sense, for the work duly appeared; but no one recognised more clearly than herself its numerous shortcomings. Indeed, it is little better than a huge scrap-book filled with newspaper cuttings and citations from Sir Richard's and other books, hurriedly selected and even more hurriedly pieced together. It gives the impressions of Lady Burton alone, for those of Sir Richard's friends are ignored--so we see Burton from only one point of view. Amazing to say, it does not contain a single original anecdote[FN#1]--though perhaps, more amusing anecdotes could be told of Burton than of any other modern Englishman.

In the prefatory note of the first edition of this work (1S91) the Editor invited criticism with a view to the improvement of future editions. Several critics responded to this appeal, and their valuable sugges- tions have been considered in pre- paring this re-issue. In some cases the text has been revised and the selection in varied ; others, addi- tions have been made to complete the representation. The biographi- cal and bibliographical matter ha= been brought up to date. —A.H.M. PREFATORY. This volume is devoted to the Humorous poetry of the century. With a view to the thorough representation of the humorous element in the poetic literature of the period, selections are included from the works of the general poets whose humorous verse bears sufficient proportion to the general body of their poetry, or is sufficiently characteristic to demand separate representation, as well as from the works of those exclusively humorous writers whose verse is the raison d'etre of the volume. The Editor's thanks are due to Messrs. William Blackwood & Son for permission to include two of " " the Legal Lyrics of the late George Outram, and a selection from "The Bon Gaultier Ballads" of late E. Sir Theodore Martin and the W.

There are signs that more people are beginning to realise this, and that she may one day take her rightful place." Merryn Williams writing in Margaret Oliphant: A Critical Biography (Macmillan, 1986) "She is the perfect example of that well-known literary puzzle, the writer highly rated and immensely successful in their own time who becomes relegated by posterity to a position only just above obscurity. ...of Mrs Oliphant's ninety-eight novels modern readers will be unusual if they have read two or three. Fewer still will be acquainted with any of her twenty-five works of non-fiction.... Mrs Oliphant is valuable not only for the integrity of her stories and the grace and fluency with which she tells them, but for the unusual prominence she gives to domestic lives and female friendships. She was a thoroughly professional writer who supported her family entirely through her own labours, without neglecting them one iota. She should, perhaps, become the patron saint of all harassed women writers with demanding families." Margaret Forster writing in the TLS, (10 March 1995) What is Margaret Oliphant's rightful place in the pantheon of literature? To her contemporaries she "belonged to the race of literary giants...

In a book addressed chiefly to students of philosophy it seemed best to say little of the life or even of the intellectual of Mill and development ; where does occur biography its introduction is largely an accident.

  • The Reception of Schiller's Wilhelm Tell in England and America
    RICE UNIVERSITY The Reception of Schiller’s Wi I heIm Tel I in England and America by Wayne Eric Kuehne A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Master of Arts Houston, Texas April, 1966 ABSTRACT "The Reception of Schiller’s Wilhelm Tell In England and America," by Wayne Eric Kuehne. This thesis considers the reception of Schiller’s Wilhelm Tell in England and America from its first publi¬ cation in 1804 to the present. The main sections of the thesis treat the reception of the play as a literary work, as a textbook for schools and colleges, and as a drama appearing on the stage. Appendices are included which indicate the circulation of the play in textbooks and English translations. In two particular areas, this thesis contradicts previous research: First, the Schiller celebrations, especially the celebration of 1859, have been portrayed as popular demonstrations of affection by non-Germans for Germany’s poet of freedom. No evidence could be found to indicate any such popularity either before or after 1859. The greatest support for Tel I and Schiller in either country came from the German Forty-eighters and the Turnverelne. but there is no evidence that any considerable percentage of the German immigrants shared their views. The great success of the celebrations among the immigrants lay In the fact that they were literally "celebrations." Second, In determining the reception of Tell, the thesis investigates the assumption that James Sheridan Knowles' William Tell: or. The Hero of Switzerland (1825) Is "an English adaptation of the German play." This assumption is rejected* Knowles* play cannot in any sense be considered an "adaptation of Schiller’s play." The similarities can be explained by the fact that they both use the same historical sources.

  • The Life of Froude
    The Life Of Froude By Herbert W. Paul The Life of Froude CHAPTER I CHILDHOOD IN reading biographies I always skip the genealogical details. To be born obscure and to die famous has been described as the acme of human felicity. However that may be, whether fame has anything to do with happiness or no, it is a man himself, and not his ancestors, whose life deserves, if it does deserve, to be written. Such was Froude's own opinion, and it is the opinion of most sensible people. Few, indeed, are the families which contain more than one remarkable figure, and this is the rock upon which the hereditary principle always in practice breaks. For human lineage is not subject to the scientific tests which alone could give it solid value as positive or negative evidence. There is nothing to show from what source, other than the ultimate source of every good and perfect gift, Froude derived his brilliant and splendid powers. He was a gentleman, and he did not care to find or make for himself a pedigree. He knew that the Froudes had been settled in Devonshire time out of mind as yeomen with small estates, and that one of them, to whom his own father always referred with contempt, had bought from the Heralds' College what Gibbon calls the most useless of all coats, a coat of arms. Froude's grandfather did a more sensible thing by marrying an heiress, a Devonshire heiress, Miss Hurrell, and thereby doubling his possessions. Although he died before he was five-and-twenty, he left four children behind him, and his only son was the historian's father.

These remarks are frequently skimmed if not entirely skipped, but since the heart of all that follows is an annotated bibliography, and since in such a document it is important to devise an orderly system for the benefit of the reader, it seems appropriate to begin with a brief explanation of the system. There is, of course, some commentary preceding the bibliography, but this can be read without the need for any explanatory apparatus.
