Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Works
He was a keen observer of character, custom, and incident. But he wrote far too much and studied far too little. Had he exercised his mental powers less in the manner that he did exercise them, and niore after the manner of his four great contemporaries, Shakespeare, Beaumont, Fletcher, and Benjamin J onson. Then, probably his writings might have lived as theirs have, though it might have been in a totally different walk. In Taylor's writings there is abundance of amusement, their value, however, lies chie?y in the vivid and interesting description of English and Scottish life and custom of the period, which is to be found therein.
