Opis

Excerpt from Prćterita: Outlines of Scenes and Thoughts, Perhaps Worthy of Memory, in My Past Life I am, and my father was before me, a violent Tory of the old school (walter Scott's school, that is to say, Homer's,) I name these two out of the numberless great Tory writers, because they were my own two masters. I had Walter Scott's novels, and the Iliad, (pope's translation,) for my only reading when I was a child, on week-days on Sun days their effect was tempered by Robinson Crusoe and the Pilgrim's Progress my mother having it deeply in her heart to make an evangelical clergyman of me. Fortunately, I had an aunt more evangelical than my mother and my aunt gave me cold mutton for Sunday's dinner, which - as I much pre ferred it hot - greatly diminished the inżuence of the Pil grim's Progress, and the end of the matter was, that I got all the noble imaginative teaching of Defoe and Bunyan, and yet - am not an evangelical clergyman. I had, however, still better teaching than theirs, and that compulsorily, and every day of the week. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
