Seeing these older volumes from our collections rediscovered by new generations of readers renews our own passion for books and scholarship.

Nineteenth Century Collections Online: European Literature, 1790-1840: The Corvey Collection includes the full-text of more than 9,500 English, French and German titles. The collection is sourced from the remarkable library of Victor Amadeus, whose Castle Corvey collection was one of the most spectacular discoveries of the late 1970s. The Corvey Collection comprises one of the most important collections of Romantic era writing in existence anywhere -- including fiction, short prose, dramatic works, poetry, and more -- with a focus on especially difficult-to-find works by lesser-known, historically neglected writers.The Corvey library was built during the last half of the 19th century by Victor and his wife Elise, both bibliophiles with varied interests. The collection thus contains everything from novels and short stories to belles lettres and more populist works, and includes many exceedingly rare works not available in any other collection from the period. These invaluable, sometimes previously unknown works are of particular interest to scholars and researchers.European Literature, 1790-1840: The Corvey Collection includes: * Novels and Gothic Novels* Short Stories* Belles-Lettres* Short Prose Forms* Dramatic Works* Poetry* Anthologies* And moreSelected with the guidance of an international team of expert advisors, these primary sources are invaluable for a wide range of academic disciplines and areas of study, providing never before possible research opportunities for one of the most studied historical periods.Additional MetadataPrimary Id: B0163102PSM Id: NCCOF0063-C00000-B0163102DVI Collection Id: NCCOC0062Bibliographic Id: NCCO002723Reel: 390MCODE: 4UVCOriginal Publisher: Henry Colburn by R.

Excerpt from A Day by the Fire: And Other Papers, Hitherto UncollectedIf there is any intelligent person who professes not to like Leigh Hunt, it is probably for precisely the same rea son that Charles Lamb professed not to like the W s, - because he did not know them. For Leigh Hunt is one of the most delightful of authors, and all who read him admire him for his scholarly tastes and literary amenities, his nimble wit, bright fancy, and subtle perception of beauty; and love him for his glad heart and sunny dis position, his large and generous sympathies, and noble, Christian faith in the innate goodness of man.This volume of essays and sketches, - written in the author's pleasant, characteristic manner, and full of what Hawthorne happily calls his unmeasured poetry, - will, I hope, be acceptable to the old admirers of Leigh Hunt, and introduce him to many new and appreciative readers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The following Essays have been collected, for the first time, from such of the authors periodical writings as it was thought might furnish anotlier publication similar to the I ndicator. Most of them have ])een taken from theL ondon Journal; and the remainder from theL ihend, theM ontM yR epository, the Tathr and the Round Table. The title, of course, is to be understood in its primitive and most simple sense, and not in its portentous one, as connected with foresight and prophecy ;nor would the author profess, intellectually, to see farther into a mill-stone than his betters. His motto, which thoroughly exjilains, will also, he trusts, vindicate all which he aspires to show; which is, that the more we look at anything in this beautiful and abundant world, with a desire to be pleased with it, the more we shall be rewarded by the loving spirit of the universe, with discoveries that await only the desire. It will ever be one of the most delightful recollections of the authors life, that the periodical work, from which the collection has been chiefly made, was encouraged by all ])arties in the spirit in which it was set up. Nor, at the hazard of some imputation on his modesty, (which he must be allowed not very ten-ibly to care for, where so much love is going forward,) can he help repeating what he wrote, on this point, when his heart was first touched by it :A sthere is nothing in the world which is not supernatural in one sense, as the very world of fashion itself rolls round with the stars, and is a part of the mystery and the variety of the shows of the universe, so nothing, in a contemptuous sense, is small, or unworthy of a grave and calm lio))e, which tends to popularise Christian refinement, and to mix it up with every species of social intercourse, as a good realised, and not merely as an abstraction preached. What! Have not Philosophy and Christianit(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
