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. 1851.

No powers of description can adequately represent the effect produced by the aspect, especially in his latter days--the broad full forehead, the silver hair, the deep and varied intonations of the voice, and the copious riverlike flow of words, sweeping along with a profusion of imagery, reflections, and incidents, in a majestic tide. To sit down to represent this would be an act of presumption, like that attributed to the oriental monarch who, in a fit of splenetic revenge, cut up the magnificent river into a number of petty rivulets. I shall content myself with noting down some records of opinions which he expressed from time to time on literary subjects in my hearing, --some of them nearly a quarter of a century ago. 'Remember, first read the ancient classical authors; v then come to us; and you will be able to judge for yourself which of us is worth reading. 'The first book of Homer appears to be independent of the rest. The plan of the Odyssey is more methodical than that of the Iliad.

One day, conversing with Payne Knight and Uvedale Price concerning Homer, I expressed my admiration of Nestor's speech, as eminently natural, where he tells the Greek leaders that they are mere children in comparison with the heroes of old whom he had known.1 "But," said Knight and Price, "that passage is spurious!" However, I will not part with it. It is interesting to compare the same characters (Ajax, for instance) ...

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
