Excerpt from Imaginary Conversations, Vol. 2 of 6 Cesar. 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.

Book Description
Excerpt from Imaginary Conversations, Vol. 4 of 6 Hume. God, it appears, has forbidden it; for which reason, to show my obedience and submission, I live as much as possible in France, where at present God has forbidden no such thing. Home. Religion, my dear sir, can alone make men happy and keep them so. Hume. Nothing is better calculated to make men happy than religion, if you will allow them to manage it according to their minds; in which case the strong men hunt down others until they can fold them, entrap them, or noose them. Here, however, let the discussion terminate. Both of us have been in a cherry orchard, and have observed the advantages of the jacket, hat, and rattle. Home. Our reformed religion does not authorize any line of conduct diverging from right reason we are commanded by it to speak the truth to all men.

Excerpt from Imaginary Conversations, Vol. 5 of 6 Agfitri. I rejoice in her goodness thus anticipating my wishes. 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.

Book Description
Excerpt from Imaginary Conversations The statement will hardly be challenged that the general reader knows almost nothing of the career and work of Walter Savage Landor. Even the student of literature, unless he is specially well read and himself a classicist, is apt to know little of the author of "Count Julian," "Gebir," and the "Imaginary Conversations of Literary Men and Statesmen" and his rare devotion to the Roman Muse. Nevertheless, he was in many respects a remarkable figure in the literary life and activities of his age, an unrivalled prose writer, and a poet of the motherland of many and great gifts, of whom so high an authority as Swinburne affirms that "he has won for himself such a double crown of glory in verse and in prose as has been won by no other Englishman but Milton." The eulogy may seem extravagant; but it comes from one who can well appreciate the rare craftsmanship of a fellow poet and man of letters, for Landor, whatever he lacked in imagination, had an incomparable literary style and did much fine creative work, however wanting it was in continuity, in unifying power, and in the qualities that inflame, inspire, and abide in the human heart. With all his defects, which, however, are mainly those of character and temperament, Landor is nevertheless worthy of high honor, and his genius should win for him a more exalted place in the annals of letters. What a new century may do for him and his reputation, it would be idle to speculate upon. Hitherto he has sung but to "the few and fit," and with all his accomplishments he has, in great measure, failed to win the ear of the world, or to be known save, for the most part, through anthologies and treasuries of choice prose.
