Book Description
Excerpt from Hints to Collectors of Original Editions of the Works of William Makepeace Thackeray, Vol. 4 This brings me to my subject, and to my object in writing and issuing these Hints to collectors of Thackeray's works. It is needless for me to enlarge upon Thackeray's merits. They are likely to be, more or less fully, recognized by everyone who reads these pages, and I will merely state my opinion that the modern Englishman, of average intelligence and educa tion, cannot do better than spend a little time and money in collecting the works of such a master of his native language, of so deep a thinker, if so sincere and noble a teacher as was William Makepeace Thackeray This being granted, it follows that all who can afford it should collect Thackeray's works, in their first editions. Why? I have heard people ask. The answer is, that as, to a cultured taste, a rough sketch by an artist is preferable to a reproduction, however elaborate and highly finished a painter's etching to a laborious line engraving; a proof of an etching or engraving to a print, - anything, in fact, tinged with originality to anything lacking it; so is the first edition of a work, in the form in which the author first issued it, preferable to the most elaborate and magnificent after-issue, while, of course, in the case of an illustrated book, the early impressions from a plate are better than the later impressions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in our edition. We do, however, repair the vast majority of imperfections successfully; any imperfections that remain are intentionally left to preserve the state of such historical works.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
