Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Introduction to the first volume:The inscription for a Quaker's tankard--"Ye lie friend Pindar and friend Thales!Nothing so good as water? Ale is." --is worth all the more polished verse in which the young poets of Oxford have been wont to echo the achieved singers of the outside world. Other poetical works of more importance followed, and among them Gebir. This poem, though written when its author was only twenty-three, shows that even then he had acquired a definite poetic style. Like his prose his verse is characteristic. Both have the same grave and sometimes rugged march in them. In both the ruggedness is often broken by sentences of such marvellous art and beauty that the reader wonders how the same man could write in two such different manners. But the wonder is idle. The artist who has strength to be austere needs no other strength; he who has once made the bleak summits familiar to his feet, cannot but discover that there grow flowers the fairer for their isolation. To the reader, indeed, austerity may be unattractive, and sometimes with reason. It is only in the moods of highest inspiration that art and austerity can dwell together, and Landor no less than any other artist is subject to this law. Passages may be found both in his verse and in his prose where the reader's attention flags. The air of the mountains is no longer around him, and he is left to contend with a bare style expressive of no lofty thought. His consolation is that from the plain to the loftiest heights is for Landor only a step...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Introduction to the first volume:"During the time occupied in writing these works Landor's private life had been a restless one. He had quarrelled with his father, and lived a wandering life in London, at Tenby, and elsewhere. Part of the time was spent at his father's house in Warwick, where he made a friend whose influence upon his life seems to have been considerable. No new bent could have been given to his vigorous obstinacy of character by any human being, but in a near neighbour of his father's he must have found a similarity of thought likely to strengthen the set which his nature had taken for itself. Dr Parr was the curate of Hatton, a small village only a few miles off Warwick. He was a first rate classical scholar. "There are three great Grecians in England," he once said, "Porson is the first: Burney is the third: and who the second is I need not tell." But in addition to this he was a mighty whig, in the days when Pitt was all powerful, and when every true tory looked upon whigs as next door to Jacobins. Landor's love for classical learning was acquired at an early age. At Rugby his Latin verses had been famous, and at Oxford his classical knowledge had gained the respect of his tutors. That he gained no prize in the university he himself accounts for in a characteristic fashion. In a letter written in 1857, he says--"Though I wrote better Latin than any undergraduate or graduate in the university, I could never be persuaded by my tutor or my friends to contend for any prize whatever." But though he wrote no Latin verse in competition, he had written much for his own pleasure. In the volume of poems published by him at Oxford were fifty pages of Latin verse containing, among other things, Hendecasyllabics, of which, his tutor declared, Catullus might have been proud. As far as classical learning went, Dr Parr and he were sure to find a common ground."...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS work is as remarkable an instance as we have lately met with of the strength and weakness of the human intellect. It displays considerable originality, learning, acuteness, terseness of style, and force of invective--but it 1s spoiled and rendered abortive throughout by an utter want of temper, of self-knowledge, and decorum. Mr Landor's mind is far from barren in feeling or in resources; but over the natural, and (What might be) the useful growth of these, there every where springs up a luxuriant crop of caprice, dogmatism, extravagance, intolerance, quaintness, and most ludicrous arrogance, -- like the red and blue flowers in corn, that, however they may dazzle the passenger's eye, choke up the harvest, and mock the hopes of the husbandman. We are not ignorant of the school to which our author belongs ; and could name other writers who, in the course of a laborious life, and in productions numerous and multiform -- some recent and suited to the times, some long and luckily forgotten, -- in odes, inscriptions, madrigals, epics, -- in essays, histories and reviews, -- have run into as many absurdities, and as many extremes: but never did we see, bound up in the same volume, close-packed, and pointed with all the significance of style, the same number of contradictions, staring one another in the face, and quarrelling for the precedence. Mr. Landor's book is a perfect 'institute and digest' of inconsistency: it is made up of mere antipathies in nature and in reasoning. It is a chef-d oeuvre of self-opinion and self-will, strangling whatever is otherwise sound and excellent in principle, de acing whatever is beautiful in style and matter. - Edinburgh Review, or Critical Journal, Volume 6; Volume 40

We have no writer who could keep up long together his severity and strength. I would follow him; but I shall be contented with my genius, if (thucydides in sight) I come many paces behind, and attain by study and attention the graceful and secure mediocrity of Xenophon. Lucullus. You will avoid, I think, Caesar, one of his peculiarities, - his tendency to superstition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

As you are journeying toward Rome, Signor Abbate, I fear I may enjoy but too few Opportunities of conversing with so justly celebrated a personage. Already the company begins to assemble round about us, especially the English eager, no doubt, to derive a little pure Italian from so high a source: such, in the estima tion of all, is that of the Abbate Metastasio, Poeta Cesareo.
