“The

object

which

Mr.

Knight

proposed

to

himself

in

the

first

series

of

the

present

work

was

to

supply

brief

memoirs

or

characteristic

traits

of

many

distinguished

persons,

in

connexion

with

the

records

of

their

own

thoughts

and

feelings,

as

preserved

in

autobiographies,

in

diaries,

and

in

familiar

letters

:

and

this

is

well

carried

out

in

the

volume

before

us,

which

differs,

however,

in

one

respect

from

its

predecessor

;

for

while

it

was

no

part

of

Mr.

Knight’s

original

plan

to

include

unpublished

letters,

yet,

having

permission

to

print

for

the

first

time

some

interesting

letters

of

Robert

Southey

and

of

George

Canning,

he

has

very

wisely

availed

himself

of

such

permission,

and

thereby

added

fresh

interest

to

a

work

already

sufficiently

attractive

.”
