Book Description
Excerpt from Life of James Montgomery We introduce to our readers James Montgomery. His English biographers, Mr. John Holland and Rev. James Everett, with affectionate assiduity have issued his life in seven volumes. Precious as the most insignificant memorials of him must be to personal friends, and interesting as are all the links which bind a man to his own country, a great portion of this ample detail possesses little, if any interest, to an American public. It therefore has been our work to sift out from this the true wheat of his life, and mould it anew. With none of the classic richness of Rogers, the weird originality of Coleridge, the introspective sweetness of Wordsworth, or the fascinating romance of Scott, there is a moral earnestness, an unaffected grace, a purity of diction, which penetrate the heart and place his poetry among the permanent literature of England. The Christian element of his hymns gave them wings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life and Writings of James Montgomery, Vol. 5: Including Selections From His Correspondence, Remains in Prose and Verse, and Conversations on Various Subjects Such had been the effort of the mental labour and anxiety which attended the completion of this responsible literary task, that the poet found his brain seriously affected through the disorder of his stomach and on walking out one day to breathe the fresh air, he felt so much impressed with the conviction that he might perhaps die suddenly in the field, that in a moment of morbid excitement he wrote his name upon a piece of paper with a pencil.

Book Description
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life and Writings of James Montgomery, Vol. 1: Including Selections From His Correspondence, Remains in Prose, and Verse, and Conversations on Various Subjects Coleridge, Wordsworth, Byron, Campbell, Rogers, Crabbe, Moore, and Montgomery himself, he was at once the coeval and the exponent: While with the mighty evangelical awakening, in which originated so many Bible, Missionary, Sunday School, and Tract Societies, besides others of a kindred nature, the name and labours of our friend were specially associated: to which must be added, the influence which a character thus moulded and directed by Christian principles, and sweetened by the amenities of literature and poesy, necessarily gave him in the local councils of the good people of Sheffield, among whom he resided. It is not intended by these remarks to represent Montgomery as occupying a preeminent position in any one of the proud spheres of interest and influence in question; for in each were to be found some, and in others several, names that ranked higher than his own: but it is not, perhaps, too much to assert, that in no other individual of his time were these latter elements of the spirit of the age so largely and so homogeneously combined.

Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life and Writings of James Montgomery, Vol. 6: Including Selection From His Correspondence, Remains in Prose and Verse, and Conversations on Various Subjects On that ice-bound coast, where the cold is not unfrequently forty or even fifty degrees below the freezing point, scarcely any fuel grows, and the measure of supply depends chiefly upon the drift wood which is brought by the sea, during the few weeks of summer. The little brushwood which is produced in the country is used for fuel, but in order to gather it the missionaries have to undertake a perilous expedition of forty miles in an Open boat, ex posed to furious storms, and those engaged are separated from their flocks for several weeks. - Appeal, Jan. 7. 1841.

Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life and Writings of James Montgomery, Vol. 4: Including Selection From His Correspondence, Remains in Prose and Verse, and Conversations on Various Subjects The current year was not remarkable for any particular national or local excitement; so that Montgomery's newspaper articles present nothing that seems to bear in any striking degree on his personal history. His anxiety to be out of editorial harness - loosely as he now wore it - certainly did not lessen with a decreasing circulation of the -Iris.- About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of James Montgomery Two large editions of these Collected Poems (in 3 vols. 1836, and in 4 vols. handsomely embellished, 1841) having been favourably received by the Public, the Author is encouraged to offer the present, in a more condensed form, with the hope that compositions, which at intervals through more than a quarter of a century had previously obtained considerable attention, may yet secure some measure of similar indulgence for a few years longer. Further introduction here would be irrelevant, as the notes and explanations attached to the principal subjects will make the special treatment of these sufficiently intelligible, if not otherwise interesting.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of James Montgomery, Vol. 1 of 4: Including Several Poems Now First Collected, With a Sketch of His Life He was so disheartened by this circumstance, that, on occasion of a misuhderstanding with Mr. Harrison, he, at the end of eight months, quitted the metropolis, and returned to Wath, where he was received with a hearty welcome by his former employer. While in London, having been advised to turn his attention in prose, as mean profitable than verse, he composed an eastern story which he took one evening to-a publish er in the east end of the town. Being directed through the shop, to the private room of the great man, he' presented his manuscript in form. The prudent bookseller read the title, marked the number of pages, counted the lines in a page, and made a calculation of 'the whole; then turning to the author, who stood in astonishment at this summary mode of deciding on the merit of a work of imagination, he very civilly return ed the copy, saying, Sir, your manuscript is too small it won't do for me - take it to he publishes these kind of things. Montgomery retreated with so much confgeion from the presence of the bookseller, that in passing through the shop, he dashed his unfortunate head against a patent lamp, broke the glass, spilled the oil, and making an awkward apology to the shopmen, who were tittering behind the counter, to the no small mortification of the poor author, be rushed into the street, equally unable to restrain his venation. Or his laughter, and retired to his home, filled with chagrin and disappointment at this ludicrous and untoward misadventure.
