Books with author John Wallace

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from The Humbler Poets (Second Series): A Collection of Newspaper and Periodical Verse 1885 to 1910Not many realize, though the fact remains, that there are now publishing in English during every calendar year no fewer than a hundred volumes of significant and worthy verse, to which may be added two hundred volumes more which frequently contain passages of beauty. This implies that there are in the english-speaking world at least three hundred men and women who, already masters of an intricate and delightful technique, are inspired by sentiments lofty or tender, such as make for literary permanency. It is earnestly believed to be possible to compile every year from the verses given the light Of print during that time an anthology of short poems and excerpts which will compare favorably with any collection thus chronologically delimited gathered during any period of English literary history. Such a collection, so we feel assured, would suffer little, if at all, by comparison with the most brilliant twelvemonth of either the Elizabethan or Victorian era.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
