Curiosities of Literature, and the Literary Character Illustrated

Angebote / Angebote:

Excerpt from Curiosities of Literature, and the Literary Character Illustrated Tats miscellany was first formed, many years ago, when two of my fi'iends were occupied in those anecdotical labours, which have proved so entertaining to themselves, and their readers.' I conceived that a collec tion of a different complexion, though much less amusing, might prove somewhat more instructive, and that literary history afforded an almost unexplored source of interesting facts. The work itself has been well enough received by the public to justify its design. Every class of readers requires a book adapted to itself and that book which interests, and perhaps brings much new information to a multitude of readers, is not to be contemned, even by the learned. More might be alleged in favour of works like the present than can be urged against them. They are of a class which was well known to the ancients. The Greeks were not without them, the Romans loved them under the title of Varia Eruditio, and the Orientalists, more than either, were passionately fond of these agreeable collections. The fanciful titles, with which they de corated their variegated miscellanies, su¿iciently express their delight.
