Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Times of Oliver Goldsmith, Vol. 1 of 2 When this work first appeared, twenty-three years ago, it was made the subject of an attack by the author of a former Life of Goldsmith so unprovoked and inex ensable that even literary history affords hardly a parallel to it. I at once published a reply, to which no rejoinder was ever attempted; and all the subsequent editions of my book were prefaced by it. Sir James Prior is now dead, and I do not print it here. It is, however, necessary to retain some remark' on the principle involved in his com plaint. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

He was born at a small Old parsonage house (supposed afterwards to be haunted by the fairies, or good people of the district, who could not however save it from being levelled to the ground) in a lonely, remote, and almost inaccessible Irish village on the southern banks of the river Inny, called Pallas, or Pallasmore, the property of the Edgeworths of Edgeworthstown, in the county of Longford, on the 10th Of November, 1728: a little more than three years earlier than the date upon his epitaph.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Oliver Goldsmith This is the Oliver Goldsmith whom we know through his works, and we think that the man himself cannot have been different. But when we read some accounts of him, transmitted to us bya few Of his contemporaries, we are amazed to find that we are mistaken in our assumption. We are told that he was a vain empty coxcomb, so overwhelmed with self-conceit that he could not hear without envy of the success Of another man, no matter in what direction it was achieved - that he was ungrateful to those who had befriended him most - that he was an accomplished liar, a contemptible braggart, an un dutiful son, and a bit of a hypocrite into the bargain. He was a plagiarist when he was at his best, and a fool when he was at his worst. He affected a wisdom to which he had no claim, and a learning which he did not possess. He only failed to be an impostor because of his want of ability to frame any scheme that would impose upon the most credulous of humanity. We find, in short, that the man Goldsmith was in every respect exactly the opposite to Goldsmith the writer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Oliver Goldsmith, Vol. 1 of 2: With Selections From His Writings There are few writers for whom the reader feels such personal kindness as for Oliver Goldsmith, for few have so eminently possessed the magic gift of identifying themselves with their writings. We read his character in every page, and grow into familiar intimacy with him as we read. The artless benevolence that beams throughout his works; the whimsical yet amiable views of human life and human nature; the unforced humour, blended so happily with good feeling and good sense, and singularly dashed at times with a pleasing melancholy; even the very nature of his mellow, and flowing, and softly-tinted style, all seem to bespeak his moral as well as his intellectual qualities, and make us love the man at the same time that we admire the author. While the productions of writers of loftier pretension and more sounding names are suffered to moulder on our shelves, those of Goldsmith are cherished and laid in our bosoms.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Oliver Goldsmith, Vol. 2 of 2: With Selections From His Writings The letter which came by the way of Smyrna, and which you sent me unopened, was from my son. As I have permitted you to take copies of all those I send to China, you might have made no ceremony in opening those directed to me. Either in joy or sorrow, my friend should participate in my feelings. "It would give pleasure to see a good man pleased at my success; it would give almost equal pleasure to see him sympathize at my disappointment." Every account I receive from the East seems to come loaded with some new affliction. My wife and daughter were taken from me, and yet I sustained the loss with intrepidity; my son is made a slave among the barbarians, which was the only blow that could have reached my heart; yes, I will indulge the transports of nature for a little, in order to show I can overcome them in the end. "True magnanimity consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." When our mighty emperor had published his displeasure at my departure, and seized upon all that was mine, my son was privately secreted from his resentment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oliver Goldsmith, Vol. 2: A Biography The reply struck a pang of self-reproach even to the cold heart of Walpole; a faint blush may have visited his cheek at his recent levity. The persons of honor and veracity who were present, said he in after years, when he found it necessary to exculpate him self from the charge of heartless neglect of genius, will attest with What surprise and concern I thus first heard of his death. Well might he feel concern. His cold neglect had doubtless contributed to madden the spirit of that youthful genius, and hurry him towards his untimely end; nor have all the excuses and palliations of Walpole's friends and ad miters been ever able entirely to clear this stigma from his fame.
