Inhaltsangabe
Excerpt from Dictionary of English Authors: Biographical and Bibliographical; Being a Compendious Account of the Lives and Writings of Upwards of 800 British and American Writers From the Year 1400 to the Present Time
IN the Appendix which forms part of the present edition a large amount Of new matter has been added, and numerous corrections and additions made, to the Dictionary as originally issued. Such articles in the main portion of the book as are marked with an asterisk are now concluded or emended by corresponding articles in the Appendix.
The scheme is throughout the same. In the case of each author the essential facts in his career are stated as briefly as is practicable, followed by as complete as possible a list Of his works arranged chronologically. Departure from this rule has been made only in the case Of some six or seven writers, the number Of whose separate publications was so formidable as to render it impracticable to append an exhaustive catalogue of them. In these instances mention has been made of the quarter where a full list may be found.
The literary distinction of an author has been the criterion adopted by the compiler in the difficult task Of selection. This will explain the omission of specialists in science, theology, law, politics, etc., who may have written much upon their own subject; their inclusion, where such has been the case, depending upon the fact Of their having produced work which either is purely literary or is so widely known and read as to come within the category of general literature.
