About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated.1908 Excerpt: ... NOTES. P. 3. "The Curse of Kehama, and Ensor's National Education." Southey's verse is now so little read that not every reader may be aware that the first-named work is by him. Shelley much admired this and other of Southey's poems in his youth; and his appreciation of Kehama left many traces on his own work. George Ensor (1769-1841), though now almost forgotten, was a writer of some influence in his own time. It is interesting to learn that he assailed the English government of Ireland in two books, A Defence of the Irish, 1825, and Anti-Union, 1831; but this was after Shelley's death. P. 6. "Am I to expect an enemy or an ally in Locke?" In this letter Shelley is replying to Miss Hitchener's arguments. She kept drafts of some of her replies to his letters, and these have been preserved. Here is an extract from her reply to Shelley's first letter: --"You say your God is Truth: I should say mine is the God of Truth. I am so truly happy to find Locke saying we possess faculties to discover God." P. 13. "I have just finished a novel of the day--The Missionary, by Mrs. Owenson." This novel was by Miss (not Mrs.) Owenson. She afterwards became famous as the wife of Sir Charles Morgan, and the author of a good many works of fiction and travel. Shelley elsewhere expresses (if I am not mistaken) a much higher opinion of The Missionary than he does here. T. 15. "Reason sanctions an aberration from reason." Shelley is here replying to Miss Hitchener's comments upon his second letter: --"You tell me that since you have been a decided votary of reason you have never felt happiness; and you ask me to comment upon it. Your own arguments furnish me with an answer, viz.: 'that reason sanctions an aberration from reason, when that aberration is productive of higher morality....
