Description

Excerpt from Literary Anecdotes of the Eighteenth Century, Vol. 9: Comprizing Biographical Memoirs of William Bowyer, Printer, F. S. An., And Many of His Learned Friends; An Incidental View of the Progress and Advancement of Literature in This Kingdom During the Last Century; And Biographical Anecdotes On the imperfection arising from the want Of regular arrangement, I shall only Observe, that such a Book could not very easily have been other wise produced. It is not a regular History - it is not a Romantic Tale - nor a Work of Fancy which a Writer might amuse himself by refining, till he frittered away his own ideas. It is a Mine Of literary materials, whence future Biographers and Historians will readily and unsparingly collect what may suit their several purposes. Should my Re presentatives, at any future period, be inclined to publish a new Edition (a task which I shall never myself think Of attempting), the whole is now before them and my corrected copy will facilitate their labour. A regular arrangement (and certainly some compression) might then be properly adopted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
