Samuel Rogers And His Circle PDF Download

Excerpt from Samuel Rogers and His Circle My aim in this book has been twofold. First I have tried to put together in a convenient form the material about Rogers' life and career. The material is to be found in five volumes: - 1. Recollections of Samuel Rogers. Ed. by W. Sharpe. 1856. 2. Table-Talk of Samuel Rogers. A. Dyce. 1859. 3. Early Life of Samuel Rogers. P. W. Clayden. 1889. 4. Rogers and his Contemporaries. P. W. Clayden. 2 vols. 1889. Without Mr. Clayden's books mine could never have been written. He has in the three volumes collected an immense amount of information about Samuel Rogers and all his friends. And I have to thank Messrs. Smith Elder for permission to make quotations from the copyright material, letters and so forth printed for the first time by Mr. Clayden. The objection to Mr. Clayden's books is their great length; a good deal of the matter printed is rather lacking in interest, and the whole subject hardly justifies such profuse detail.
