Excerpt from Literary Extracts From English and Other Works, Vol. 1: Collected During Half a Century, Together With Some Original Matter The reading of above half a century has furnished the Selections which follow: of which it is not unreasonable to suppose, that, as they have supplied instruction and amusement to their Collector, others may also be benefited or pleased, some of whom may never have met with the volumes from which they are extracted, while others may recognise passages of which they will be glad to be reminded. The Athenæum, Dec. 24, 1842, has designated the Camden and Shakespeare Associations, for their reprints of ancient works, as "the Humane Societies of Bibliography, for preserving the existence of sinking reputations, thus plucked up by the locks from the abyss of oblivion."
