Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Beginnings of the English Essay
Coming now to the question of subject-matter. We find that some at least of the essayists are explicit in point of originality of the substance, however much the mode of treatment may be borrowed from others. The essay writers seem somewhat confused in their minds with regard to the distinction between originality of matter and origin ality of treatment. It has therefore been found difficult to keep separate the references to these two elements.
