Book Description
Excerpt from Bentley's Miscellany, 1859, Vol. 45 Amongst the biographical works of the year, Dr. Wiseman's Recol lections of the Four last Po are chiefly commended to notice by Signor Gavani's sharp and witty refutation, under a similar title, of every omnion, and almost every statement in them. Of the same degree of merit as an antidote - ap lying, however, to history rather than bio graphy - is Louis Blauc's c ear and crushing repl to the laring inaccu racies and feeble twaddle of Lord N ormanby's istorica Revelations. Mr. Hogg's Life of Shelley, not yet finished, is a work of such elaborate and unnecessary detail that we feel no desire to witness in completion; while of Mr. Trelawny's vainglorious Recollections of the Last Days of Byron and Shelley we refrain from expressing the Opinion Emphd by a Just indignation. The Life of Pope, by Mr. Carruthers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
