Precious Stones: Aids to Reflection; From Prose Writers of the Sixteen, Seventeenth, and Eighteenth Centuries (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from Precious Stones: Aids to Reflection; From Prose Writers of the Sixteen, Seventeenth, and Eighteenth Centuries

It is believed that the following pages contain some of the costliest thoughts in our English Prose. They are the fruit of independent reading, and the Collector has generally added distinct and minute references; but in a few places they have been accidentally left imperfect. He would gladly have gathered larger clusters from the abundant orchards of the seventeenth century: the flavour of these may turn eyes to the tree.
