Book excerpt: Excerpt from Resolves: Divine, Moral, Political The present selection from the Resolves, it is believed, is the only one that has been print cd for more than a century, that gives a fair representation of the work. The two editions, published in London in 1806 and 1820, by James Cumming, Esq., have no right to be called Owen Felltham's Resolves. Mr. Cum ming has taken the most unwarrantable liber ties with the text, and indulged in the most gratuitous alterations and omissions. It seems to have been his great object to get rid of the antique words and quaint phrases which per vade the volume, and which certainly constitute one of the charms of the old writers. He has so completely modernized Felltham, and so al tered. His style and language, that his old friends and admirers can 'hardly recognise him in his new dress.
