Southey's Common-Place Book, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from Southey's Common-Place Book, Vol. 1

I am the Editor of the present volume, complete in' itself, from p. 203; and those who are conversant in literary investigation will make allowance for such errors as may have escaped me. As far as my limited reading, and the resources of a private library, permitted, I have investigated doubtful passages, and have corrected imperfect references. Nothing but reverence for the honoured name of 50111t would have induced me, with my clerical calls and studies, to have entered upon the work. The dim culty of carrying it out only, shows the wonderful stores, the accumulated learning, and the unlimited research, of the excellently single-hearted, the devout, and gifted Collector. Most truly may it he said of him, in the words of stephen Hawns, in his Phem or pleasure, speaking of Mum Linear.
