This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1843 edition. Excerpt: ...to you: the cause is not wholly of agreeable narration. In November last I was deferring to write with the wish of accompanying my letter by a copy of the 'Tales of Yore'; but I discovered that I had acted with levity (to use no coarser name), by endeavouring to eke out the want of provided material with an old translation of Voltaire's ' White Bull'. I determined to cancel the vicious sheets. This took time: there was new matter to seek, to translate, and to overlook. I received but last week the purified copies, which I would willingly have believed the only extant ones: unhappily Mr. Mawman, in his eagerness to accommodate his Critical Review with early intelligence, sent to the editor of that journal a copy with all its pristine imperfections on its head. I am assured, however, that not six copies have got abroad in the original state; but as some impertinent bibliographer may choose to record the fact, I must bear as I can the consequence. I have to send you and to send to Henry a copy of the book, but know not through what channel to order the forwarding: it is a bookseller's job, which I do not wish to avow. I have read with more than the interest of intellect, if that be possible, your prospectus of the Edinburgh Annual Register. Walter Scott would have done better not to incommode you with a subsidiary volume of literary intelligence: an Edinburgh Annual Register should be a separate care. You will find it difficult to compress the details which are permanently valuable into one volume; and you will find the tail of the comet less radiant than the nucleus, --sweepings of the heavens where Jeffrey and Co. are the constellations. Hermogenes lived seventy-seven years and wrote seventyseven books; you too promise fair to count years..
