Book Description
Excerpt from The Letters of Thomas Gray, Including the Correspondence of Gray and Mason, Vol. 2 The present volume contains letters from the beginning of 1758 to the end of 1762, including those of Mason during that period. Gray spent much of his time in Lon don, near the British Museum, busied in researches there, but all the while an amused spectator of current events. Readers will be interested in comparing his account of the coronation of George III with their own very recent memories, and perhaps even the notes with which I have illustrated the letter of September 24th, 1761, may help them the better to contrast the then and the now. These great occasions bring into focus our otherwise vague esti mates of progress in certain of its aspects. They are to the historian what the rarer phenomena of the heavens, the transits of Venus, or the reappearances of comets, are to the astronomer. In both cases the spectacle, after the lapse of centuries, is essentially the same; in both cases the infer ences reach far beyond its limits, and, at every repetition, are of wider scope and import. We still reckon our epochs by our kings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
