Overview
Excerpt from Macmillan's Magazine, Vol. 18: May, 1868 October, 1868This, however, is only an illustration of that taste for Short cuts to literary fame and position which is the natural result of the love of the new literary prizes which such a position confers. The Muses are believed to receive unex ampled honour in our time, because authors were never so much asked out to dinner. It is not in such form of honour that they can take delight. The air of gilded saloons gives no kindly nourishment to those habits of sober thought, genial, grave meditation, ele vated serenity, and industry, which it Should be the scholar's steady aim to cultivate. To him the pomps and vanities of the world are as noxious as they used to seem to the old saints. One need take no impossibly ascetic View of things for the world in general to perceive that to him, at all events, the graceful levities, the time-wasting diversions, the spirit-breaking dulnesses.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
