Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Johnson Prose Poetry, With Boswell's Character, Macaulay's Life and Raleigh's Essay
IT has been claimed for the series of which this little book is a member, that its plan obviates to a large extent the tedious necessity of editorial introduction and explanation. An editor who is fortunate in his material; and judicious in his use of it, finds that his critical extracts explain each other, as they explain and are in turn explained by the selections with which they are combined. Having placed his field, he may stand aside and leave the game to the players. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
