Description
Excerpt from Nineteenth Century Essays: Edited With Introduction and Notes
The choice of essays is deliberate: I have tried to select different types, - the abstract, the historical, the asthetic, the critical, the bio graphical, and the actual. That some passages will be beyond the comprehension of the young student is very possible; but each essay as a general rule should be not only intelligible but attractive. The pieces are arranged in order of composition without reference to the authors' birth-dates. In the little biographical notes I have aimed at two things: first, to add some thing to the impulse each essay should give towards further reading, and next, to suggest the books in which that further reading may be most profitably sought.
