Book excerpt: Excerpt from Devereux, Vol. 1 of 3: A Tale In reading Bulwer's novels, one cannot but be struck with surprise at the number of universal geniuses he encounters in them. There, for ex ample, is Ernest Maltravers, who, at the age of eight een only, is deeply read in the scholastic philosophy, is something of a botanist also, is already up to his ears in the moonlit abyss of Plato, and has filled a dozen commonplace books with criticisms on Kant. He has all the passion of a German for music; his voice is sweet, his taste consummate, his science profound. At twenty, only two years later, although he has been meanwhile educating Alice, his first flame, travelling in Italy, and flirting with Madame de St. Ventadour, writing poetry, etc., etc., he is an accomplished scholar, as familiar with the stores of the immortal dead as with his own language, perfectly familiar with the poetry.
