Excerpt from Critical, Historical and Miscellaneous Essays, Vol. 5 of 6 Before this transfer took place, the last Hastings Of Daylesford had presented his second son to the rectory Of the parish in which the ancient residence of the family stood. The living was of little value; and the situation of the po'or clergyman, after the sale of the estate, was deplorable. He was constantly engaged in lawsuits about his tithes with the new lord Of the man or, and was at length utterly ruined. His eldest son, Howard, a well-conducted young man, obtained a place in the customs. The second son, Pynaston, an idle, worthless boy, married before he was sixteen, lost his wife in two years, and died in the West Indies, leaving to the care of his unfortunate father a little orphan, destined to strange and memorable vicissitudes of for tune.

Book Description
Excerpt from Critical and Miscellaneous Essays, Vol. 4 of 5 Thiers's History, in ten volumes foolscap-octavo, contains, if we remember rightly, one reference; and that to a book, not to the page or chapter of a book. It has, for these last seven or eight years, a wide or even high reputation; which latter it is as far as possible from meriting. A superficial air of order, of clearness, calm candour, is spread over the work; but inwardly, it is waste, inorganic; no human head that honestly tries can conceive the French Revolution 90. A critic of our acquaintance undertook, by way of bet, to find four errors per hour in Thiers: he won amply on the first trial or two.1 And yet readers (we must add), taking all this along with them, may peruse Thiers with comfort in certain circumstances, nay, even with profit; for he is a brisk man of his sort; and does tell you much, if you knew nothing.

Excerpt from Critical and Miscellaneous Essays, Vol. 1 of 7 Except by name, Jean Paul Friedrich Richter is little known out of Germany. The only thing connected with him, we think, that has reached this country, is his saying, imported by Ma dame de Stael, and thankfully pocketed by most newspaper critics Providence has given to the French the empire of the land, to the English that of the sea, to the Germans that Of - the air!' Of this last element, indeed, his own genius might easily seem to have been a denizen; SO fantastic, many coloured, far-grasping, everyway perplexed and extraordinary is his mode of writing. TO translate him properly is next to impossible; nay, a dictionary Of his works has actually been in part published for the use of German readers These things have restricted his sphere Of action, and may long restrict it, to his own country: but there, in return, he is a favourite Of the first class studied through all his intricacies with trustful ad miration, and a love Which tolerates much. During the last forty years, he has been continually before the public, in various capacities, and growing generally in esteem with all ranks of critics till, at length, his gainsayers have either been silenced or convinced; and Jean Paul, at first reckoned half-mad, has long ago vindicated his singularities to nearly universal satis faction, and now combines popularity with real depth of endow ment, in perhaps a greater degree than any other writer; being second in the latter point to scarcely more than one of his con temporaries, and in the former second to none.

Excerpt from Critical and Miscellaneous Essays, Vol. 6 of 7 IT appears to be, if not stated in words, yet tacitly felt and nu derstood everywhere, that the event of these modern ages is the French Revolution. A huge explosion, bursting through all formulas and customs confounding into wreck and chaos the ordered arrangements of earthly life blotting-out, one may say, the very firmament and skyey loadstars, - though only for a season. Once in the fifteen-hundred years such a thing was ordained to come. To those who stood present in the actual midst of that smoke and thunder, the effect might well be too violent: blinding and deafening, into confused exasperation, almost into madness. These onlookers have played their part. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
