Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Collected Writings of Thomas De Quincey
This volume continues the series of De Quincey's papers specially entitled to the name of historical essays and researches. The difference from the last volume is that, while in the papers placed first in this volume we are still in what is called Ancient History, we shoot suddenly in the others into Modern History, and chie?y into Recent Modern History. Eight of the nine papers are from Black wood's Magazine 5 and the dates, &c., are appended to the papers individually. One is from Tait's Magazine.
