In the presence of the greater works of -authors there is no room for personal criticism; they constitute in -themselves the perpetual mind of the race, and dispense with any private -view. The eye rests on these hundred titles of books famous in English -literature, as it reads a physical map by peak, river and coast, and -sees in miniature the intellectual conformation of a nation. A different -selection would only mean another point of view; some minor features -might be replaced by others of similar subordination; but the mass of -imagination and learning, the mind-achievement of the English race, is -as unchangeable as a mountain landscape. Perspective thrusts its -unconscious judgment upon the organs of sight, also; if Gower is thin -with distance and the clump of the Elizabethans shows crowded with low -spurs, the eye is not therefore deceived by the large pettiness of the -foreground with its more numerous and distinct details. The mass -governs. Darwin appeals to Milton; Shelley is judged by Pope, and -Hawthorne by Congreve. - -These books must of necessity be national books; for fame, which is -essentially the highest gift of which man has the giving, cannot be -conferred except by a public voice. Fame dwells upon the lips of men. It -is not that memorable books must all be people's books, though the -greatest are such--the Book of Common Prayer, the Bible, Shakespeare; -but those which embody some rare intellectual power, or illuminate some -seldom visited tract of the spirit, or merely display some peculiar -taste in learning or pastime, must yet have something racial in them, -something public, to secure their hold against the detaching power of -time; they must be English books, not in tongue only, but body and soul. -They are not less the books of a nation because they are remote, -superfine, uncommon. Such are the books of the poets--the Farie Queene; -books of the nobles--Arcadia; books of the scholar--the Anatomy of -Melancholy. These books open the national genius as truly, kind by kind, -as books of knowledge exhibit the nation's advancement in learning, -stage by stage, when new sciences are brought to the birth. The Wealth -of Nations, Locke's Essay, Blackstone's Commentaries, are not merely the -product of private minds. They are landmarks of English intellect; and -more, since they pass insensibly into the power of civilization in the -land, feeding the general mind. The limited appeal that many classics -made in their age, and still make, indicates lack of development in -particular persons; but however numerous such individuals may be, in -whatever majorities they may mass, the mind of the race, once having -flowered, has flowered with the vigor of the stock. The Compleat Angler -finds a rustic breast under much staid cloth; Pepys was never at a loss -for a gossip since his seals were broken, and Donne evokes his -fellow-eccentric whose hermitage is the scholar's bosom; but whether the -charm work on few or on many is indifferent, for whom they affect, they -affect through consanguinity. The books of a nation are those which are -appropriate to its genius and embody its variations amid the changes of -time; even its sports, like Euphues, are itself; and the works which -denote the evolution of its civilized life in fructifying progress, -whose increasing diversities are yet held in the higher harmony of one -race, one temperament, one destiny, are without metaphor its Sibylline -books, and true oracles of empire. - -It is a sign of race in literature that a book can spare what is private -to its author, and comes at last to forgo his earth-life altogether. -This is obvious of works of knowledge, since positive truth gains -nothing from personality, but feels it as an alloy; and a wise analysis -will affirm the same of all long-lived books. Works of science are -charters of nature, and submit to no human caprice; and, in a similar -way, works of imagination, which are to the inward world of the spirit -what works of science are to the natural universe, are charters of the -soul, and borrow nothing from the hand that wrote them. How deciduous -such books are of the private life needs only to be stated to be -allowed. They cast biography from them like the cloak of the ascending -prophet. An author is not rightly to be reckoned among immortals until -he has been forgotten as a man, and become a shade in human memory, the -myth of his own work. The anecdote lingering in the Mermaid Tavern is -cocoon-stuff, and left for waste; time spiritualizes the soul it -released in Shakespeare, and the speedier the change, so much the purer -is the warrant of a life above death in the minds of men. The loneliness -of antique names is the austerity of fame, and only therewith do Milton, -Spenser, Chaucer, seem nobly clad and among equals; the nude figure of -Shelley at Oxford is symbolical and prophetic of this disencumberment of -mortality, the freed soul of the poet,--like Bion, a divine form. Not to -speak of those greatest works, the Prayer Book, the Bible, which seem so -impersonal in origin as to be the creation of the English tongue itself -and the genius of language adoring God; nor of Hakluyt or Clarendon, -whose books are all men's actions; how little do the most isolated and -seclusive authors, Surrey, Collins, Keats, perpetuate except the pure -poet! In these hundred famous books there are few valued for aught more -than they contain in themselves, or which require any other light to -read them by than what they bring with them; they are rather hampered -than helped by the recollection of their authors' careers. Sidney adds -lustre to the Arcadia; an exception among men, in this as in all other -ways, by virtue of that something supereminent in him which dazzled his -own age. But who else of famous authors is greater in his life than in -his book? It is the book that gives significance to the man, not the man -to the book. These authors would gain by oblivion of themselves, and -that in proportion to their greatness, thereby being at once removed -into the impersonal region of man's permanent spirit and of art. The -exceptions are only seemingly such; it is Johnson's thought and the -style of a great mind that preserve Boswell, not his human grossness; -and in Pepys it is the mundane and every-day immortality of human -nature, this permanently curious and impertinent world, not his own -scandal and peepings, that yield him allowance in libraries. In all -books to which a nation stands heir, it is man that survives,--the -aspect of an epoch, the phase of a religion, the mood of a generation, -the taste, sentiment, thought, pursuit, entertainment, of a historic and -diversified people. There is nothing accidental in the fact that of -these hundred books forty-six bear no author's name upon the title-page; -nor is this due merely to the eldest style of printing, as with Chaucer, -Gower, Malory, Langland; nor to the inclusion of works by several -hands--the Book of Common Prayer, the Mirror for Magistrates, the -Tatler, the Spectator, the Reliques, the Federalist; nor to the use of -initials, as in the case of Donne and Mrs. Browning. The characteristic -is constant. It is interesting to note the names thus self-suppressed: -Sackville, Spenser, Bacon, Burton, Browne, Walton, Butler, Dryden, -Locke, Defoe, Swift, Pope, Richardson, Gray, Franklin, Goldsmith, -Sterne, Smollett, Sheridan, White, Wordsworth, Irving, Austen, Scott, -Lamb, Cooper, Carlyle, Emerson, Bront, Lowell, Tennyson, George Eliot, -Fitzgerald. - -The broad and various nationality of English literature is a condition -precedent to greatness, and underlies its mighty fortune. Its chief -glory is its continuity, by which it exceeds the moderns, and must, with -ages, surpass antiquity. Literary genius has been so unfailing in the -English race that men of this blood live in the error that literature, -like light and air, is a common element in the life of populations. -Literature is really the work of selected nations, and with them is not -a constant product. Many nations have no literature, and in fertile -nations there are barren centuries. The splendid perpetuity of Greek -literature, which covered two thousand years, was yet broken by lean -ages, by periods of desert dearth. In the English, beginning from -Chaucer (as is just, since he is our Homer, whatever ages went before -Troy or Canterbury), there have been reigns without a poet; and Greek -example might prepare the mind for Alexandrian and Byzantine periods in -the future, were it not for the grand combinations of world-colonies and -world-contacts which open new perspectives of time for which the mind, -as part of its faith in life, requires destinies as large. The gaps, -however, were greatest at the beginning, and grow less. One soil, one -government, one evenly unfolded civilization--long life in the settled -and peaceful land--contribute to this continuity of literature in the -English; but its explanation lies in the integrity of English nurture, -and this is essentially the same in all persons of English blood. Homer -was not more truly the school of Greece than the Bible has been the -school of the English. It has overcome all external change in form, rule -and institution, fused conventicle and cathedral, and in dissolving -separate and narrow bonds of union has proved the greatest bond of all, -and become like a tie of blood. English piety is of one stock, and -through every book of holy living where its treasures are laid up, there -blows the breath of one Spirit. Herbert and Bunyan are peers of a faith -undivided in the hearts of their countrymen. It does not change, but is -the same yesterday, to-day and forever. On the secular side, also, -English nurture has been of the like simple strain. The instinct of -adventure, English derring-do, has never failed. Holinshed and Hakluyt -were its chroniclers of old; and from the Morte d'Arthur to Sidney, from -the Red-Cross Knight to Ivanhoe, from Shakespeare's Henry to Tennyson's -Grenville, genius has not ceased to stream upon it, a broad river of -light. The Word of God fed English piety; English daring was fed upon -the deeds of men. Hear Shakespeare's Henry: "Plutarch always delights me -with a fresh novelty. To love him is to love me; for he has been long -time the instructor of my youth. My good mother, to whom I owe all, and -who would not wish, she said, to see her son an illustrious dunce, put -this book into my hands almost when I was a child at the breast. It has -been like my conscience, and has whispered in my ear many good -suggestions and maxims for my conduct and the government of my affairs." -The English Plutarch is written on the earth's face. Its battles have -named the lands and seas of all the world; but, as was said of English -piety, from Harold to Cromwell, from the first Conqueror to Wellington, -from the Black Prince to Gordon, English daring--the strength of the -yeoman, the breath of the noble--is of one stock. Race lasts; those who -are born in the eyrie find eagles' food. This has planted iron -resolution and all-hazarding courage in epic-drama and battle-ode, and, -as in the old riddle, feeds on what it fed. English literature is brave, -martial, and brings forth men-children. It has the clarion strength of -empire; like Taillefer at Hastings, Drayton and Tennyson still lead the -charge at Agincourt and Balaclava. As Shakespeare's Henry was nourished, -so was the English spirit in all ages bred. This integrity of English -nurture, seen in these two great modes of life turned toward God in the -soul and toward the world in action, is as plainly to be discerned in -details as in these generalities; and to state only one other broad -aspect of the facts governing the continuity of literary genius in the -English, but one that goes to the foundations, the condition that both -vivifies and controls that genius in law, metaphysics, science, in all -political writing, whether history, theory, or discussion, as well as in -the creative and artistic modes of its development, is freedom. The -freedom of England, which is the parent of its greatness in all ways, is -as old in the race as fear of God and love of peril; and, through its -manifold and primary operation in English nurture, is the true continuer -of its literature. - -A second grand trait of English literature that is writ large on these -title-pages, is its enormous assimilative power. So great is this that -he who would know English must be a scholar in all literatures, and that -with no shallow learning. The old figure of the torch handed down from -nation to nation, as the type of man's higher life, gives up its full -meaning only to the student, and to him it may come to seem that the -torch is all and the hand that bears it dust and ashes; often he finds -in its light only the color of his own studies, and names it Greek, -Semitic, Hindu, and looks on English, French and Latin as mere carriers -of the flame. In so old a symbol there must be profound truth, and it -conveys the sense of antiquity in life, of the deathlessness of -civilization, and something also of its superhuman origin--the divine -gift of fire transmitted from above; but civilization is more than an -inheritance, it is a power; and truth is always more than it was; and -wherever the torch is lit, its light is the burning of a living race of -men. The dependence of the present on the past, of a younger on an older -people, of one nation on another, is often misinterpreted and misleads; -life cannot be given, but only knowledge, example, direction--influence, -but not essence; and the impact of one literature upon another, or of an -old historic culture upon a new and ungrown people, is more external -than is commonly represented. The genius of a nation born to greatness -is irresistible, it remains itself, it does not become another. The -Greeks conquered Rome, men say, through the mind; and Rome conquered the -barbarians through the mind; but in Gibbon who finds Greece? and the -mind of Europe does not bear the ruling stamp of either Byzantine or -Italian Rome. In the narrowly temporal and personal view, even under the -overwhelming might of Greece, Virgil remained, what Tennyson calls him, -"Roman Virgil"; and in the other capital instance of apparently -all-conquering literary power, under the truth that went forth from -Judea into all lands, Dante remained Italian and Milton English. Yet in -these three poets, whose names are synonyms of their countries, the -assimilated element is so great that their minds might be said to have -been educated abroad. - -What is true of Milton is true of the young English mind, from Chaucer -and earlier. In the beginning English literature was a part of European -literature, and held a position in it analogous to that which the -literature of America occupies in all English speech; it was not so much -colonial as a part of the same world. The first works were European -books written on English soil; Chaucer, Gower and Malory used the matter -of Europe, but they retained the tang of English, as Emerson keeps the -tang of America. The name applied to Gower, "the moral Gower," speaks -him English; and Arthur, "the flower of kings," remains forever Arthur -of Britain; and the Canterbury pilgrimage, whatever the source of the -world-wandering tales, gives the first crowded scene of English life. In -Langland, whose form was medival, lay as in the seed the religious and -social history of a protestant, democratic, and labor-honoring nation. -In the next age, with the intellectual sovereignty of humanism, Surrey, -Sackville, Lyly, Sidney and Spenser put all the new realms of letters -under tribute, and made capture with a royal hand of whatever they would -have for their own of the world's finer wealth; the dramatists gathered -again the tales of all nations; and, period following period, Italy, -Spain and France in turn, and the Hebrew, Greek and Latin unceasingly, -brought their treasures, light or precious, to each generation of -authors, until the last great burst of the age now closing, itself -indebted most universally to all the past and all the world. Yet each -new wave that washed empire to the land retreated, leaving the genius of -English unimpaired and richer only in its own strength. Notwithstanding -the _concettisti_, the heroic drama, the Celtic mist, which passed like -shadows from the kingdom, the instinct of the authors held to the -massive sense of Latin and the pure form of Greek and Italian, and -constituted these the enduring humane culture of English letters and -their academic tradition. The permanence of this tradition in literary -education has been of vast importance, and is to the literary class, in -so far as they are separate by training, what the integrity of English -nurture at large has been to the nation. The poets, especially, have -been learned in this culture; and, so far from being self-sprung from -the soil, were moulded into power by every finer touch of time. Chaucer, -Spenser, Milton, Gray, Shelley, Tennyson are the capital names that -illustrate the toil of the scholar, and approve the mastery of that -classical culture which has ever been the most fruitful in the choicest -minds. As on the broad scale English literature is distinguished by its -general assimilative power, being hospitable to all knowledge, it is -most deeply and intimately, because continuously, indebted to humane -studies, in the strictest sense, and has derived from them not, as in -many other cases, transitory matter and the fashion of an hour, but the -form and discipline of art itself. In assimilating this to English -nature, literary genius incurred its greatest obligation, and in thereby -discovering artistic freedom found its greatest good. This academic -tradition has created English culture, which is perhaps best described -as an instinctive standard of judgment, and is the necessary complement -to that openness of mind that has characterized English literature from -the first. Nor is this last word a paradox, but the simple truth, as is -plain from the assimilative power here dwelt upon. The English genius is -always itself; no element of greatness could inhere in it otherwise; -but, in literature, it has had the most open mind of any nation. - -A third trait of high distinction in English literature, of which this -list is a reminder, and one not unconnected with its continuity and -receptivity, is its copiousness. This is not a matter of mere number, -of voluminousness; there is an abundance of kinds. In the literature -of knowledge, what branch is unfruitful, and in the literature of -power, what fountainhead is unstruck by the rod? Only the Italian -genius in its prime shows such supreme equality in diversity. How many -human interests are exemplified, and how many amply illustrated, -exhibiting in a true sense and not by hyperbole myriad-minded man! In -the English genius there seems something correspondent to this -marvellous efficacy of faculty and expression; it has largeness of -power. The trait most commonly thought of in connection with Aristotle -as an individual--"master of those who know"--and in connection with -medival schoolmen as a class, is not less characteristic of the -English, though it appears less. The voracity of Chaucer for all -literary knowledge, which makes him encyclopdic of a period, is matched -at the end of these centuries by Newman, whose capaciousness of -intellect was inclusive of all he cared to know. Bacon, in saying, "I -take all knowledge to be my province," did not so much make a personal -boast as utter a national motto. The great example is, of course, -Shakespeare, on whose universality later genius has exhausted metaphor; -but for everything that he knew in little, English can show a large -literature, and exceeds his comprehensiveness. The fact is best -illustrated by adverting to what this list spares. English is rich in -translations, and in this sort of exchange the balance of trade is -always in favor of the importer. Homer alone is included here,--to -except the Bible, which has been so inbred in England as to have become -an English book to an eye that clings to the truth through all -appearances; but how rich in great national books is a literature that -can omit so noble a work, though translated, and one so historic in -English, as North's Plutarch! In the literature of knowledge, Greek -could hardly have passed over Euclid; but Newton's Principia is here not -required. Sir Thomas More is one of the noblest English names, and his -Utopia is a memorable book; but it drops from the list. Nor is it names -and books only that disappear; but, as these last instances suggest, -kinds of literature go out with them. Platonism falls into silence with -the pure tones of Vaughan, in whom light seems almost audible; and the -mystic Italian fervor of the passional spirit fades with Crashaw. The -books of politeness, though descended from Castiglione, depart with -Chesterfield, perhaps from some pettiness that had turned courtesy into -etiquette; and parody retires with Buckingham. Latin literature was -almost rewritten in English during the eighteenth century; but the -traces of it here are few. Of inadequate representation, how slight is -burlesque in Butler, and the presence of Chevy Chase hardly compensates -for the absence of the war-ballad in Drayton and Campbell. So it is with -a hundred instances. In another way of illustration, it is to be borne -in mind that each author appears by only one title; and while it may be -true that commonly each finer spirit stores up his immortality in some -one book that is a more perfect vessel of time, yet fecundity is rightly -reckoned as a sign of greatness and measure of it in the most, and the -production of many books makes a name bulk larger. Mass counts, when in -addition to quality; and the greatest have been plentiful writers. No -praise can make Gray seem more than a remnant of genius, and no -qualification of the verdict can deprive Dryden and Jonson of largeness. -It belongs to genius to tire not in creation, thereby imitating the -excess of nature flowing from unhusbanded sources. Yet among these -hundred books, as in scientific classification, one example must stand -for all, except when some folio, like an ark, comes to the rescue of a -Beaumont and Fletcher. This is cutting the diamond with itself. But -within these limits, narrowing circle within circle, what a universe of -man remains! Culture after culture, epoch by epoch, are laid bare as in -geologic strata,--medival tale and history, humanistic form, the -Shakespearian age, Puritan, Cavalier, man scientific, reforming, reborn -into a new natural, political, artistic world, man modern; and in every -layer of imagination and learning lies, whole and entire, a buried -English age. It is by virtue of its copiousness that English literature -is so representative, both of man's individual spirit in its restless -forms of apprehension and embodiment, and of its historic formulation in -English progress as national power. - -The realization of this long-lived, far-gathering, abounding English -literature, in these external phases, leaves untouched its original -force. Whence is its germinating power,--what is this genius of the -English? It is the same in literature as in all its other manifold -manifestations, for man is forever unitary and of one piece. Curiosity, -which is the distinction of progressive peoples, is perhaps its initial -and moving source. The trait which has sent the English broadcast over -the world and mingled their history with the annals of all nations is -the same that has so blended their literature with the history of all -tongues. The acquisitive power which has created the empire of the -English, with dominion on dominion, is parallel with the faculty that -assimilates past literatures with the body of their literary speech. But -curiosity is only half the word. It is singular that the first quality -which occurs to the mind in connection with the English is, almost -universally and often exclusively, their practicality. They are really -the most romantic of all nations; romanticism is the other half of their -genius, and supplements that positive element of knowledge-hunting or -truth-seeking which is indicated by their endless curiosity. Possibly -the Elizabethan age is generally thought of as a romantic period, as if -it were exceptional; and the romantic vigor of the late Georgian period, -though everywhere acknowledged, is primarily regarded as more strictly a -literary and not a national characteristic in its time; but, like all -interesting history, English history was continuously romantic. The days -of the crusaders, the Wars of the Roses and the French wars were of the -same strain in action and character, in adventurous travel, in personal -fate, in contacts, as were the times of Shakespeare's world or of the -world of Waterloo. What a reinforcement of character in the English has -India been, how restorative of greatness in the blood! It must be that -romanticism should characterize a great race, and, when appealing to a -positive genius, the greatest race; for in it are all the invitations of -destiny. Futurity broods and brings forth in its nest. Romanticism is -the lift of life in a people that does not merely continue, but grows, -spreads and overcomes. The sphere of the word is not to be too narrowly -confined, as only a bookish phrase of polite letters. - -In the world of knowledge the pursuit of truth is romantic. The -scientific inquirer lives in a realm of strangeness and in the presence -of the unknown, in a place so haunted with profound feeling, so electric -with the emotions that feed great minds, that whether awe of the -unsolved or of the solved be the stronger sentiment he cannot tell; and -the appeal made to him--to the explorer in every bodily peril, to the -experimenter in the den of untamed forces, to the thinker in his -solitude--is often a romantic appeal. The moments of great discoveries -are romantic moments, as is seen in Keats's sonnet, lifting Cortez and -the star-gazer on equal heights with the reader of the Iliad. The epic -of science is a Columbiad without end. Nor is this less true of those -branches of knowledge esteemed most dry and prosaic. Locke, Adam Smith, -Darwin were all similarly placed with Pythagoras, Aristotle and -Copernicus; the mind, society and nature, severally, were their -Americas. Even in this age of the mechanical application of forces, -which by virtue of the large part of these inventions in daily and -world-wide life seems superficially, and is called, a materialistic age, -romanticism is paramount and will finally be seen so. Are not these -things in our time what Drake and Spanish gold and Virginia, what Clive -and the Indies, were to other centuries? It is true that the element of -commercial gain blends with other phases of our inventions, and seems a -debasement, an avarice; but so it was in all ages. Nor are the -applications of scientific discovery for the material ends of wealth -other or relatively greater now than the applications of geographical -discovery, for example, to the same ends were in Elizabeth's reign and -later. In the first ages commercial gain was in league with the waves -from which rose the Odyssey,--a part of that early trading, coasting -world, as it was always a part of the artistic world of Athens. Gain in -any of its material forms, whether wealth, power or rank, does not -debase the knowledge, the courage of heart, the skill of hand and brain, -from which it flows, for it is their natural and proper fruit; nor does -it by itself materialize either the man or the nation, else civilization -were doomed from the start, and the pursuit of truth would end in -humiliation and ignominy. It is rather the attitude of mind toward this -new world of knowledge and this spectacle of man now imperializing -through nature's forces, as formerly through discovery of the earth's -lands and seas, that makes the character of our age. Romanticism, being -the enveloping mood in whose atmosphere the spirit of man beholds life, -and, as it were, the light on things, changes its aspect in the process -of the ages with the emergence of each new world of man's era; and as it -once inhered in English loyalty and the piety of Christ's sepulchre, and -in English voyaging over-seas and colonizing of the lands, it now -inheres in the conquest of natural force for the arts of peace. The -present age exceeds its predecessors in marvel in proportion as the -victories of the intellect are in a world of finer secrecy than any -horizon veils, and build an empire of greater breadth and endurance than -any monarch or sovereign people or domineering race selfishly achieves; -its victories are in the unseen of force and thought, and it brings -among men the undecaying empire of knowledge, as inexpugnable as the -mind in man and as inappropriable as light and air. Here, as elsewhere, -it is the sensual eye that sees the sensual thing, but the spiritual eye -spiritually discerns. It is romance that adds this "precious seeing" to -the eye. Openness to the call, capability of the passion, and character, -so sensitized and moulded in individuals and made hereditary in a -civilization and a race and idealized in conscience, constitute the -motor-genius of a nation, which is its finding faculty; and the -appreciation of results and putting them to the use of men make its -conserving and positive power. These two, indistinguishably married and -blended, are the English genius. A positive genius following a romantic -lead, a romantic genius yielding a positive good, equally describe it -from opposed points of view; yet in the finer spirits and in the long -age the romantic temperament is felt to be the fertilizing element, to -be character as opposed to performance. Greatness lies always in the -unaccomplished deed, as in the lonely anecdote of Newton: "I do not know -what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only -like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then -finding a smoother pebble, or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the -great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me." So Tennyson with -his "wages of going on," and Sir John Franklin and Gordon in their -lives. This spiritual breath of the nation in all its activities through -centuries is the breath of its literature, there embodied in its finer -being and applied to the highest uses for the civilization and culture -of the nation by truth and art. In English literary history, and in its -men of genius taken individually, the positive or the romantic may -predominate, each in its own moment; but the conspectus of the whole -assigns to each its true levels. Romanticism condensed in character, -which is the creation of the highest poetic genius, the rarest work of -man, has its illustrative example in Shakespeare, the first of all -writers; he followed it through all its modes, and perhaps its simplest -types are Henry IV for action, Romeo for passion, and Hamlet, which is -the romance of thought. Before Shakespeare, Spenser closed the earliest -age, which had been shaped by a diffused romantic tradition, inherited -from medivalism, though in its later career masked under Renaissance -forms; and since Shakespeare, a similar diffused romantic prescience, in -the region of the common life and of revolutionary causes most -significantly, brought in our age that has now passed its first flower, -but has yet long to run. These are the three great ages of English -poetry. In the interval between the second and the third, the -magnificently accomplished school of the eighteenth century gave to -English an age of cultivated repose, in which Pope, its best example, -lived on the incomes of the past, and, together with the younger and the -elder men he knew, exhibited in literature that conserving and positive -power which is the economy of national genius; but even in that great -century, wherever the future woke, there was a budding romanticism, in -Collins, Gray, Walpole, Thomson, Cowper, Blake. Such was the history of -English poetry, and the same general statement will be found applicable -to English prose, though in a lower tone, due to the nature of prose. -Taken in the large, important as the positive element in it is, the -English literary genius is, like the race, temperamentally romantic, to -the nerve and bone. - -This view becomes increasingly apparent on examination of the service of -this literature to civilization and the individual soul of man, which is -the great function of literature, and of its place in the world of art. - -"How shall the world be served?" was Chaucer's question; and it has -never been absent from any great mind of the English stock. The -literature of a nation, however, including, as here, books of knowledge, -is so nearly synonymous with the mind in all its operations in the -national life, as to be coextensive with civilization, and hardly -separable from it. Civilization is cast in the mould of thought, and -retains the brute necessity of nature only as mass, but not as surface; -it is the flowering of human forces in the formal aspect of life, and of -these literature is one mode, reflecting in its many phases all the rest -in their manifestations, and inwardly feeding them in their vital -principle. The universality of its touch on life is indicated by the -fact that it has made the English a lettered people, the alphabet as -common as numbers, and the ability to read almost as wide-spread in the -race as the ability to count. Its service, therefore, cannot be -summarized any more than the dictionary of its words. It is possible to -bring within the compass of a paragraph only hints and guide-marks of -its work; and naturally these would be gathered from its most -comprehensive influences in the higher spheres of intellect and morals, -in the world of ideas, and in the person of those writers who were -either the founders or restorers of knowledge. Such a cardinal service -was the Baconian method, to take a single great instance, which may -almost be said to have reversed the logical habit of the mind of Europe, -and to have summoned nature to a new bar. It is enough to name this. Of -books powerful in intellectual results, Locke's Essay is, perhaps, -thought of as metaphysical and remote, yet it was of immeasurable -influence at home and abroad, so subtly penetrating as to resemble in -scale and intimacy the silent forces of nature. It was great as a -representative of the spirit of rationalism, which it supported and -spread with incalculable results on the temper of educated Europe; and -great also as a product and embodiment of that cold, intellectual habit, -distinctive of a certain kind of English mind, and usually regarded as -radical in the race. It was great by the variety as well as the range of -its influence, and was felt in all regions of abstract thought and those -practical arts, education, government and the like, then most affected -by such thought; it permanently modified the cast of men's minds. In -opposition to it new philosophical movements found their mainspring. A -similar honor belongs to Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations in another -century. It is customary to eulogize the pioneer, and to credit the -first openers of Californias with the wealth of all the mines worked by -later comers; and, in this sense, the words of Buckle, that have been -placed opposite the title-page, are, perhaps, to be taken: "Adam Smith -contributed more, by the publication of this single work, towards the -happiness of men than has been effected by the united abilities of all -the statesmen and legislators of whom history has preserved an authentic -account." But the excess of the statement is a proof of the largeness of -the truth it contains, and like-minded praise is not from Buckle alone, -but may be found in half a score of thoughtful and temperate authors. In -the last age, Darwin, by his Origin of Species, most arrested the -attention of the scientific mind, and stimulated the highly educated -world with surprise. He was classed with Copernicus, as having brought -man's pretension to be the first of created things, and their lord from -the beginning, under the destroying criticism of scientific time and its -order, in the same way that Copernicus brought the pretension of the -earth to be the centre of the universe under a like criticism of -scientific space and its order; and in these proud statements there is -some measure of truth. The ideas of Darwin compel a readjustment of -man's thoughts with regard to his temporal and natural relation to the -universe in which he finds himself; and the vast generalities of all -evolutionary thought received from Darwin immense stimulus, its method -greater scope, and its results a firmer hold on the general mind, with -an influence still unfathomable upon man's highest beliefs with regard -to his origin and destiny. There are epochs in the intellectual history -of the race as marked as those of the globe; and such works as these, in -the literature of knowledge, show the times of the opening of the seals. - -In addition to the service so done in the advancement of civilization by -the discovery of new truth, as great benefaction is accomplished by the -continual agitation and exercise of men's minds in the ideas that are -not new but the ever-living inheritance from the past, whose permanence -through all epochs shows their deep grounding in the race they nourish. -In English such ideas are, especially, in the view of the whole world, -ideas of civil and religious liberty in the widest sense and -particularly as worked out in legal and political history. The common -law of England in Blackstone is a mighty legacy. On the large public -scale, and as involved in the constitutional making of a great nation, -the Federalist is a document invaluable as setting forth essentials of -free government under a particular application; and for comment on -social liberty, Burke, on the conservative, and Paine, on the radical -side, exhibit the scope, the weight and fire of English thought. Of -still greater significance, for the mass and variety of teaching, is -that commentary on man's freedom which is contained in the operation of -liberty and its increase as presented in the long story of England's -greatness recorded in the works of her historians from Holinshed to -Macaulay, with what the last prolific generation has added. They are -exceeded in the dignity of their labors by Gibbon, whose work on Rome, -which Mommsen called the greatest of all histories and is often likened -to a mighty bridge spanning the gulf between the ancient and the modern -world, was a contribution to European learning; but the historians of -English liberty have more profitably served mankind. At yet another -remove, the ideas of liberty--and the mind acquainted with English books -is dazzled by the vast comprehensiveness of such a phrase--are again -poured through the nation's life-blood by all her poets, and well-nigh -all her writers in prose, in one or another mode of the Promethean fire. -These ideas are never silent, never quiescent; they work in the -substance, they shape the form and feature, of English thought; they are -the necessary element of its being; they constitute the race of freemen, -and are known in every language as English ideas. They give sublimity to -the figure of Milton; they are the feeding flame of Shelley's mind; they -alone lift Tennyson to an eagle-flight of song. In the unceasing -celebration of ideal liberty, and its practical life in English -character and events, the literature of England has, perhaps, done a -greater service than in the positive advancement of knowledge, for it is -more fundamental in the national life. Touching the subject almost at -random, such are a few of the points of contact between English books -and the civilization of men. - -It is still more difficult to state briefly the action of literature on -the individual for what is more distinctly his private gain, in the -enlargement of his life, the direction of his thoughts, and bringing him -into harmony with the world. As, in regard to civilization, the emphasis -lay rather on the literature of knowledge, here it lies on the -literature of power,--on imaginative and reflective works. Its initial -office is educative; it feeds the imagination and the powers of -sympathy, and trains not only the affections but all feeling; and in -these fields it is the only instrument of education outside of real -experience. It is this that gives it such primacy as to make -acquaintance with humane letters almost synonymous with culture. No -actual world is large enough for a man to live in; at the lowest, there -is some tradition of the past, some expectation of the future; and, -though training in the senses is an important part of early life, yet -the greater part of education consists in putting the young in -possession of an unseen world. The biograph is a marvellous toy of the -time, but literature in its lower forms of information, of history, -travel and description, has been a biograph for the mind's eye from the -beginning; and in its higher forms of art it performs a greater service -by bringing into mental vision what it is above the power of nature to -produce. To expand the mind to the compass of space and time, and to -people these with the thoughts of mankind, to revive the past and -penetrate the reality of the present, is the joint work of all -literature; and as a preparation for individual life, in unfolding the -faculties and the feelings, humane letters achieve their most essential -task. Literature furnishes the gymnasia for all youth, in that part of -their nature in which the highest power of humanity lies. But this is -only, as was said, its initial office. Throughout life it acts in the -same way on old and young alike. The dependence of all men on thought, -and of thought on speech, is a profound matter, though as little -considered as gravitation that keeps the world entire; and the speech on -which such a strain of life lies is the speech of books. How has -Longfellow consoled middle life in its human trials, how has Carlyle -roused manhood, and Emerson illumined life for his readers at every -stage! Scott is a benefactor of millions by virtue of the entertainment -he has given to English homes and the lonely hours of his fellow-men, -now for three generations, to an extent hardly measurable in thought; -and so in hardly a less degree is Dickens, and, though diminishing in -inclusive power, are Thackeray, Austen, Bront, Cooper, Hawthorne, -George Eliot, to name only novelists. Each century has had its own -story-telling from Chaucer down, though masked in the Elizabethan period -as drama, and in each much hearty and refined pleasure has been afforded -by the spectacle of life in books; but in the last age the benefit so -conferred is to be reckoned among the greater blessings of civilization. -It is singular that humor, so prime and constant a factor in English, -should have so few books altogether its own, and these not of the -greater class; but the spirit which yields burlesque in Butler and -Irving, and comedy in Massinger, Congreve and Sheridan, pervades the -body of English literature and characterizes it among national -literatures. The highest mind is incomplete without humor, for a perfect -idealism includes laughter at the real; and it is natural, for, the -principle of humor being incongruity to the intellect, it is properly -most keen in those in whom the idea of order, which is the mother-idea -of the intellect, is most omnipresent and controlling; but as humor is -thus auxiliary in character, it is found to be subordinate also in -English literature as a whole. The constancy of its presence, however, -is a sign of the general health of the English genius, which has turned -to morbidity far less than that of other nations ancient or modern. It -is a cognate fact, here, that great books are never frivolous; they -leave the reader wiser and better, as well through laughter as through -tears, or they sustain imaginative and sympathetic power already -acquired. They open the world of humanity to the heart, and they open -the heart to itself. In another region, not primarily of entertainment, -the value of literature lies in its function to inspire. In individual -life, each finer spirit of the past touches with an electric force those -of his own kindred as they are born into the world of letters, and often -for life. The later poets have most personal power in this way. Burns, -Wordsworth, Byron, Shelley have been the inspiration of lives, like -Carlyle and Emerson in prose. The most intense example of national -inspiration in a book is Uncle Tom's Cabin; but in quieter ways Scotland -feels the pulse of Burns, and England the many-mingled throbbing of the -poets in her blood. - -On the large scale, in the impact of literature on the individual soul -and through that on the national belief, aspiration and resolve, the -great sphere of influence lies necessarily in the religious life, -because that is universal and constant from birth to death and spreads -among the secret springs and sources of man's essential nature. It is a -commonplace, it has sometimes been made a reproach, that English -literature is predominantly moral and religious, and the fact is plainly -so. The strain that began with Piers Plowman flourished more mightily in -the Pilgrim's Progress. The psalm-note that was a tone of character in -Surrey, Wyatt and Sidney gave perfect song in Milton, both poet and man. -From Butler to Newman the intellect, applied to religion, did not fail -in strenuous power. Taylor's Holy Living is a saint's book. If religious -poets, of one pure strain of Sabbath melody, have been rare, yet -Herbert, Vaughan, Cowper, Keble, Whittier are to the memory Christian -names, with the humility and breathing peace of sacred song. The portion -of English literature expressly religious is enlarged by the works of -authors, both in prose and verse, in which religion was an occasional -theme and often greatly dealt with; and the religious and moral -influence of the body of literature as a whole on the English race is -immensely increased by those writers into whom the Christian spirit -entered as a master-light of reason and imagination, such as Spenser in -the Farie Queene and Wordsworth in his works generally, or Gray in the -solemn thought of the Elegy. To particularize is an endless task; for -the sense of duty toward man and God is of the bone and flesh of English -books in every age, being planted in the English nature. This vast mass -of experience and counsel, of praise and prayer, of insight and leading, -variously responding to every phase of the religious consciousness of -the historic people, has been, like the general harvest, the daily food -of the nation in its spiritual life. If Shakespeare is the greatest of -our writers, the English Bible is the greatest of our books; and the -whole matter is summarized in saying that the Bible, together with the -Book of Common Prayer, is the most widely distributed, the most -universally influential, the most generally valued and best-read book of -the English people, and this has been true since the diffusion of -printing. It may seem only the felicity of time that the English -language best adorns its best book; but it is by a higher blessing that -English character centres in this Book, that English thinkers see by it, -that English poets feel by it, that the English people live by it; for -it has passed into the blood of all English veins. - -It is natural to inquire, after dwelling so much on the practical power -of English literature in society and life, what is its value in the -world of art, in that sphere where questions of perfection in the form, -of permanence in the matter, and the like, arise. If the standards of an -academic classicism be applied, English literature will fall below both -Latin and Greek, and the Italian and French, and take a lower place with -German and Spanish, to which it is most akin. But such standards are -pseudo-classical at best, and under modern criticism find less ground in -the ancients. The genius of the English is romantic, and originated -romantic forms proper to itself, and by these it should be judged. The -time is, perhaps, not wholly gone by when the formlessness of -Shakespeare may be found spoken of as a matter of course, as the -formlessness of Shelley is still generally alleged; but if neither of -these has form in the pseudo-classic, the Italian and French, sense of -convention, decorum and limit, they were creators of that romantic form -in which English, together with Spanish, marks the furthest original -modern advance. The subject is too large, and too much a matter of -detail, for this place; but it is the less necessary to expand it, for -it is as superfluous to establish the right of Shakespeare in the realm -of the most perfect art as to examine the title-deeds of Alexander's -conquests. He condensed romanticism in character, as was said above; -and in the power with which he did this, in the wisdom, beauty and -splendor of his achievement, excelled all others, both for substance and -art. The instinct of fame may be safely followed in assigning a like -primacy to Milton. The moment which Milton occupied, in the climax of a -literary movement, is, perhaps, not commonly observed with accuracy. The -drama developed out of allegorical and abstract, and through historical, -into entirely human and ideal forms; and in Shakespeare this process is -completed. The same movement, on the religious as opposed to the secular -line, took place more slowly. Spenser, like Sackville, works by -impersonation of moral qualities, viewed abstractly; the Fletchers, who -carried on his tradition, employ the same method, which gives a remote -and often fantastic character to their work; nor was moral and religious -poetic narrative truly humanized, and given ideal power in character and -event, until Milton carried it to its proper artistic culmination in -Paradise Lost. Milton stands to the evolution of this branch of poetic -literature, springing from the miracle-plays, precisely as Shakespeare -does to the branch of ideal drama; and thus, although he fell outside of -the great age, and was sixty years later than Shakespeare in completing -the work, the singularity of his literary greatness, his loneliness as a -lofty genius in his time, becomes somewhat less inexplicable. The -Paradise Lost occupies this moment of climax, to repeat the phrase, in -literary history, and, like nearly all works in such circumstances, it -has a greatness all its own. But, beyond that, it lies in a region of -art where no other English work companions it, as an epic of the -romantic spirit such as Italy most boasts of, but superior in breadth, -in ethical power, in human interest, to Ariosto or Tasso, and comparing -with them as Pindar with the Alexandrians; it realized Hell and Eden, -and the world of heavenly war and the temptation, to the vision of men, -with tremendous imaginative power, stamping them into the race-mind as -permanent imagery; and the literary kinship which the workmanship bears -to what is most excellent and shining in the great works of Greece, Rome -and Italy, as well as to Hebraic grandeur, helps to place the poem in -that remoter air which is an association of the mind with all art. No -other English poem has a similar brilliancy, aloofness and perfection, -as of something existing in another element, except the Adonais. In it -personal lyricism achieved the most impersonal of elegies, and mingled -the fairest dreams of changeful imaginative grief with the soul's -intellectual passion for immortality full-voiced. It is detached from -time and place; the hunger of the soul for eternity, which is its -substance, human nature can never lay off; its literary kinship is with -what is most lovely in the idyllic melody of the antique; and, owing to -its small scale and the simple unity of its mood, it gives forth the -perpetual charm of literary form in great purity. These two poems stand -alone with Shakespeare's plays, and are for epic and lyric what his work -is for drama, the height of English performance in the cultivation of -romance. Other poets must be judged to have attained excellence in -romantic art in proportion as they reveal the qualities of Shakespeare, -Milton and Shelley; for these three are the masters of romantic form, -which, being the spirit of life proceeding from within outward, is the -vital structure of English poetic genius. This internal power is also a -principle of classic art in its antique examples; but academic criticism -developed from them a hardened formalism to which romantic art is -related as the spirit of life to the death-mask of the past. Such pallor -has from time to time crossed the features of English letters in a man -or an age, and has brought a marble dignity, as to Landor, or the shadow -of an Augustan elegance, as in the era of Pope; but it has faded and -passed away under the flush of new life. Even in prose, in which -so-called classic qualities are still sought by academic taste, the -genius of English has shown a native obstinacy. The novel is so Protean -in form as to seem amorphous, but essentially repeats the drama, and -submits in its masters to Shakespearian parallelism; in substance and -manner it has been overwhelmingly of a romantic cast; and in the other -forms of prose, style, though of all varieties, has, perhaps, proved -most preservative when highly colored, individualized, and touched with -imaginative greatness, as in Browne, Taylor, Milton, Bunyan, Burke, -Carlyle, Macaulay; but the inferiority of their matter, it should be -observed, affects the endurance of the eighteenth-century prose -masters--Steele, Addison, Swift and Johnson, to name the foremost. -Commonly, it must be allowed, English, both prose and poetry, -notwithstanding its triumphs, is valued for substance and not for form, -whether this be due to a natural incapacity, or to a retardation in -development which may hereafter be overcome, or to the fact that the -richness of the substance renders the fineness of the form less eminent. - -In conclusion, the thought rises of itself, will this continuity, -assimilative power, and copiousness, this original genius, this -serviceableness to civilization and the private life, this supreme -romantic art, be maintained, now that the English and their speech are -spread through the world, or is the history of the intellectual -expansion of Athens and Rome, the moral expansion of Jerusalem, to be -repeated? The saying of Shelley, "The mind in creation is a fading -coal," seems to be true of nations. Great literatures, or periods in -them, have usually marked the culmination of national power; and if they -"look before and after," as Virgil in the neid, they gather their -wisdom, as he too did, by a gaze reverted to the past. The paradox of -progress, in that the _laudator temporis acti_ is always found among the -best and noblest of the elders, while yet the whole world of man ever -moves on to greater knowledge, power and good, continues like the riddle -of the Sphinx; but time seems unalterably in favor of mankind through -all dark prophecies. The mystery of genius is unsolved; and the -Messianic hope that a child may be born unto the people always remains; -but the greatness of a nation dies only with that genius which is not a -form of human greatness in individuals, but is shared by all of the -blood, and constitutes them fellow-countrymen. The genius of the English -shows no sign of decay; age has followed age, each more gloriously, and -whether the period that is now closing be really an end or only the -initial movement of a vaster arc of time, corresponding to the greater -English destiny, world-wide, world-peopling, world-freeing, the arc of -the movement of democracy through the next ages,--is immaterial; so long -as the genius of the people, its piety and daring, its finding faculty -for truth, its creative shaping in art, be still integral and vital, so -long as its spiritual passion be fed from those human and divine ideas -whose abundance is not lessened, and on those heroic tasks which a world -still half discovered and partially subdued opens through the whole -range of action and of the intellectual and moral life,--so long as -these things endure, English speech must still be fruitful in great ages -of literature, as in the past these have been its fountainheads. But if -no more were to be written on the page of English, yet what is written -there, contained and handed down in famous books and made the spiritual -food of the vast multitude whose children's children shall use and read -the English tongue through coming centuries under every sky, will -constitute a moral dominion to which Virgil's line may proudly apply-- -

To - gratify this Curiosity, which is so natural to a Reader, I - design this Paper, and my next, as Prefatory Discourses to my - following Writings, and shall give some Account in them of the - several Persons that are engaged in this Work. As the chief - Trouble of Compiling, Digesting and Correcting will fall to my - Share, I must do my self the Justice to open the Work with my - own History. - - I was born to a small Hereditary Estate, which I find, by the - Writings of the Family, was bounded by the same Hedges and - Ditches in _William_ the Conqueror's Time that it is at present, - and has been delivered down from Father to Son whole and entire, - without the Loss or Acquisition of a single Field or Meadow, - during the Space of six hundred Years. There goes a Story in the - Family, that when my Mother was gone with Child of me about - three Months, she dreamt that she was brought to Bed of a Judge: - Whether this might proceed from a Law-Suit which was then - depending in the Family, or my Father's being a Justice of the - Peace, I cannot determine; for I am not so vain as to think it - presaged any Dignity that I should arrive at in my future Life, - though that was the Interpretation which the Neighbourhood put - upon it. The Gravity of my Behaviour at my very first Appearance - in the World, and all the Time that I sucked, seemed to favour - my Mother's Dream: For, as she has often told me, I threw away - my Rattle before I was two Months old, and would not make use of - my Coral 'till they had taken away the Bells from it. - - As for the rest of my Infancy, there being nothing in it - remarkable, I shall pass it over in Silence. I find that, during - my Nonage, I had the Reputation of a very sullen Youth, but was - always a Favourite of my School-Master, who used to say, _that - my Parts were solid and would wear well_. I had not been long at - the University, before I distinguished my self by a most - profound Silence: For, during the Space of eight Years, - excepting in the publick Exercises of the College, I scarce - uttered the Quantity of an hundred Words; and indeed do not - remember that I ever spoke three Sentences together in my whole - Life. Whilst I was in this Learned Body I applied my self with - so much Diligence to my Studies, that there are very few - celebrated Books, either in the Learned or the Modern Tongues, - which I am not acquainted with. - - Upon the Death of my Father I was resolved to travel into - Foreign Countries, and therefore left the University, with the - Character of an odd unaccountable Fellow, that had a great deal - of Learning, if I would but show it. An insatiable Thirst after - Knowledge carried me into all the Countries of _Europe_, where - there was any thing new or strange to be seen; nay, to such a - Degree was my Curiosity raised, that having read the - Controversies of some great Men concerning the Antiquities of - _Egypt_, I made a Voyage to _Grand Cairo_, on purpose to take - the Measure of a Pyramid; and as soon as I had set my self right - in that Particular, returned to my Native Country with great - Satisfaction. - - I have passed my latter Years in this City, where I am - frequently seen in most publick Places, tho' there are not above - half a dozen of my select Friends that know me; of whom my next - Paper shall give a more particular Account. There is no Place of - publick Resort, wherein I do not often make my Appearance; - sometimes I am seen thrusting my Head into a Round of - Politicians at _Will_'s, and listning with great Attention to - the Narratives that are made in those little Circular Audiences. - Sometimes I smoak a Pipe at _Child_'s; and whilst I seem - attentive to nothing but the _Post-Man_, over-hear the - Conversation of every Table in the Room. I appear on _Sunday - Nights_ at _St. James's Coffee_-House, and sometimes join the - little Committee of Politicks in the Inner-Room, as one who - comes there to hear and improve. My Face is likewise very well - known at the _Grecian_, the _Cocoa-Tree_, and in the Theaters - both of _Drury-Lane_, and the _Hay-Market_. I have been taken - for a Merchant - - - Reduced Leaf in original, 8.12 13.12 inches. - - - - - It breathes throughout a spirit of piety - and benevolence; it sets in a very - striking light the importance of the - mechanic arts, which they who know not - what it is to be without them are apt to - undervalue. It fixes in the mind a - lively idea of the horrors of solitude, - and, consequently, of the sweets of - social life, and of the blessings we - derive from conversation and mutual aid; - and it shows how by labouring with one's - own hands, one may secure independence, - and open for one's self many sources of - health and amusement. I agree, - therefore, with Rousseau, that this is - one of the best books that can be put - into the hands of children. - BEATTIE - - - - - THE - LIFE - AND - STRANGE SURPRIZING - ADVENTURES - OF - _ROBINSON CRUSOE_, - Of _YORK_, MARINER: - - Who lived Eight and Twenty Years, all - alone in an un-inhabited Island on the - Coast of AMERICA, near the Mouth of the - Great River of OROONOQUE; - - Having been cast on Shore by Shipwreck, - wherein all the Men perished but himself. - - WITH - - An Account how he was at last as - strangely deliver'd by PYRATES. - - * * * * * - - _Written by Himself._ - - * * * * * - - _L O N D O N:_ - Printed for W.

He blows down narrow - walls, and struggles, in a lurid light, - like the Jtuns, to throw the old woman - Time; in his work there is too much of - the anvil and the forge, not enough - hay-making under the sun. He makes us - act rather than think; he does not say, - know thyself, which is impossible, but - know thy work. He has no pillars of - Hercules, no clear goal, but an endless - Atlantis horizon. He exaggerates. Yes: - but he makes the hour great, the future - bright, the reverence and admiration - strong: while mere precise fact is a - coil of lead. - THOREAU - - - - - SARTOR RESARTUS. - - - IN THREE BOOKS. - - * * * * * - - =Reprinted for Friends from Fraser's Magazine.= - - * * * * * - - _Mein Vermchtniss, wie herrlich weit und breit!_ - _Die Zeit ist mein Vermchtniss, mein Acker ist die Zeit._ - - * * * * * - - LONDON: - JAMES FRASER, 215 REGENT STREET. - - * * * * * - - M.DCCC.XXXIV. - - - - - It was good to meet him in the - wood-paths with that pure intellectual - gleam diffused about his presence, like - the garment of a shining one; and he so - quiet, so simple, so without pretension, - encountering each man as if expecting to - receive more than he could impart. - HAWTHORNE - - - - - NATURE. - - * * * * * - - "Nature is but an image or imitation of - wisdom, the last thing of the soul; - nature being a thing which doth only do, - but not know." - PLOTINUS. - - * * * * * - - BOSTON: - JAMES MUNROE AND COMPANY. - M DCCC XXXVI. - - - - - The result of all his labors of - research, thought and composition was a - history possessing the unity, variety - and interest of a magnificent poem. - WHIPPLE - - - - - HISTORY - - OF THE - - CONQUEST OF PERU, - - WITH A PRELIMINARY VIEW - - OF THE - - CIVILIZATION OF THE INCAS. - - * * * * * - - BY - WILLIAM H.

We do not solicit donations in locations -where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To -SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any -particular state visit http://pglaf.org - -While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we -have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition -against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who -approach us with offers to donate. - -International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make -any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from -outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. - -Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation -methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other -ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. -To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate - - -Section 5.

Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm -concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared -with anyone.

Thus, we do not necessarily -keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. - - -Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: - - http://www.gutenberg.org - -This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, -including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary -Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to -subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/42877-8.zip b/42877-8.zip Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index dd8be1b..0000000 --- a/42877-8.zip +++ /dev/null diff --git a/42877-h.zip b/42877-h.zip Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 3d32a95..0000000 --- a/42877-h.zip +++ /dev/null diff --git a/42877-h/42877-h.htm b/42877-h/42877-h.htm index f74de77..75d37eb 100644 --- a/42877-h/42877-h.htm +++ b/42877-h/42877-h.htm @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> - <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" /> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css" /> <title> The Project Gutenberg eBook of One Hundred Books Famous In English Literature, by George Edward Woodberry. @@ -238,48 +238,7 @@ div.tnote { </style> </head> <body> - - -<pre> - -The Project Gutenberg EBook of One Hundred Books Famous in English -Literature, by Grolier Club - -This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with -almost no restrictions whatsoever.
