Excerpt from Modern English Essays, Vol. 3Pater! His Political Essays is readable after - how many years? His notes on Kean and the Siddons are as novel and convincing as when they were penned. In truth, he is ever a solace and a refresh ment. As a critic of letters he lacks the intense, immortalising vision, even as he lacks, in places, the illuminating and inevitable style of Lamb. But if he be less savoury, he is also more solid, and he gives you phrases, conclusions, splendours of insight and expression, high-piled and golden essays in appreciation as the Wordsworth and the Coleridge of the Political Essays, the character of Hamlet, the note on Shakespeare's style, the Horne Toohe, the Cervantes, the Rousseau, the Sir Thomas Browne, the Cobbett: that must ever be rated high among the possessions of the English mind.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
