Excerpt from The Book of Ensilage When, in the winter of 1879-80, I took the liberty of dedicating the first edition of the "Book of Ensilage" to the "farmers of America, " the system of ensilage, so far as related to its adaptation to America and to American wants and methods, was in that state of uncertainty that no one could be found who dared to thoroughly try it, partly on account of the expense involved, and perhaps more through an unwi...

Excerpt from Studies in Some Famous LettersI will only add that, in venturing to publish a volume of this sort, I have had one principal consideration in my mind. It is that, as it seems to me, Letters, whether regarded simply as a form of Literature, or as affording not the least sure material for the study of character, have not, at the present time, as many readers as they may fairly claim to deserve. I hope I have not neglected their purel...

Excerpt from A Day-Book of Walter Savage Landor Landor has been very fortunate in his editors and critics. Few authors have been more generally praised by their peers. And perhaps no English writer except Wordsworth owes more to an interpreter than Landor owes to Sir Sidney Colvin, whose volume of selections from him is not only one of the largest but also one of the finest in the Golden Treasury Series. His works are bulky, and in every way ...

Excerpt from English Elegies It is not easy to say quite exactly what an elegy is. The word, like all such words, like epic, lyric, dramatic, like poetry itself, comes to us from the Greeks. The conception of an elegy was, in fact, left somewhat undefined by the Greeks: and so it still remains. The task of distinguishing between the different kinds of poetry is, indeed, only less difficult than that of finding a definition of the nature of po...

Excerpt from The Collected Sermons of Thomas Fuller, D. D, Vol. 1: 1631 1659 Fuller belonged to an age which caught a re¿eétion from the glories Of the Elizabethan period, and before church oratory had frozen into the decorous commonplaces that were current in the Augustan period Of Anne and the early Georges. Yet there are many Of Fuller's contemporaries, po¿ibly Of equal or even greater contemporary popularity, whofe fermons would not bear ...

Excerpt from Dr. Johnson and His Circle The name of Samuel Johnson is, of course, not the greatest in English prose, but even to-day, when he has been dead more than a century and a quarter, it is still the most familiar. We live in an age of newspapers. Where all can read, the newspaper press, taken as a whole, will be a fairly accurate reflection of what is in the mind of a people. Nothing will be mentioned frequently in newspapers which is...

Excerpt from The Continuity of Letters The following Essays and Lectures are a selection from a good many which I have written during the last few years. Three of them, those on Shakespeare's Histories, Prometheus in Poetry, and Don Quixote have not been printed before. Of the others, Life and Art in English Poetry, which has appeared in the Fortnightly Review, was the first of the Lectures which I delivered at Cambridge during the winter of ...

Excerpt from The Claims of French Poetry: Nine Studies in the Greater French Poets The following Essays are partly an appeal against the common neglect of French poetry by English lovers of literature, and partly an attempt at explaining that neglect, and even, to some extent and in some cases, at justifying it. It seems to me that there is in England a widespread opinion that French poetry is merely rhetoric in verse, and I have tried to dea...

Excerpt from Milton Milton! thou shouldst be living at this hour: England hath need of thee: she is a fen Of stagnant waters: altar, sword and pen, Fireside, the heroic wealth of hall and bower, Have forfeited their ancient English dower Of inward happiness. We are selfish men, Oh! raise us up, return to us again, And give us manners, virtue, freedom, power. Thy soul was like a Star, and dwelt apart: Thou hadst a voice whose sound was lik...

Excerpt from Essays and Studies by Members of the English Association, Vol. 7But these are somewhat subtle considerations, and the chief pleasure we derive from rhyme comes, in our own language at least, of its simplicity. The rhythmical chiming of one word with another gives immediate satisfaction to the ear, like the Harmony of two notes in music. We realize anew how fondly we can dwell on the mere music of words, when our attention is held ...
