Eliot, Charles W. (editor): Harvard Classics Volume 39 V1.0 7 Feb 2014
The Harvard Classics Volume 39 (Prefaces and Prologues) Published 1910
Edited by Charles W Eliot LL D. (March 20, 1834 - August 22, 1926) Prefaces and Prologues From the Introductory Note: No part of a book is so intimate as the Preface. Here, after the long labor of the work is over, the author descends from his platform, and speaks with his reader as man to man, disclosing his hopes and fears, seeking sympathy for his difficulties, offering defence or defiance, according to his temper, against the criticisms which he anticipates. It thus happens that a personality which has been veiled by a formal method throughout many chapters, is suddenly seen face to face in the Preface; and this alone, if there were no other reason, would justify a volume of Prefaces. […] The contributing authors include William Caxton John Calvin Nicolaus Copernicus John Knox Edmund Spenser Sir Walter Raleigh Francis Bacon Henrie Condell and Iohn Heminge Sir Isaac Newton John Dryden Henry Fielding Samuel Johnson J. W. von Goethe William Wordsworth Victor Hugo Walt Whitman Hippolyte Adolphe Taine This work is assumed to be in the Life+70 public domain OR the copyright holder has given specific permission for distribution.
