Excerpt from Essays in Biography and CriticismThe selected essays in both volumes were published, with one or two exceptions, in the author's twenty-third and twenty-fourth years. Of these essays, in their present shape, he remarks: Some have undergone only a slight revision, others have been so modified as to be materially changed in character, While several, though, save in a single instance, retaining their original titles, may be considered altogether new. Among the contents of this volume, the papers which now for the first time appear in print, are those on Napoleon Bonaparte, Characteristics of Christian Civilization, and The Modern University. The rest have been carefully retouched, and several have received material additions. The whole constitute a body of biographical and critical composition worthy of the author of The Christian Eife.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
