Book Description
Excerpt from Selections From the Letters of Robert Southey, Vol. 1 of 4 Prov. Xv. 15. A 4ness, interest and passion have their genuine effect; but a friendly letter is a calm and deliberate performance, in the cool of leisure, in the stillness of solitude; and truly no man sits down to depreciate by design his own character. Shrewd remarks these, beyond a doubt; but the words here printed in italics apply to men Of coarser mould than robert southey.

Book Description
Excerpt from Selections From the Letters of Robert Southey, Vol. 1 of 4 "Few things," writes Southey to his friend Wade Brown, whilst occupied in reading over the late Dr. Bell's papers, "are more impressive than to go through, in two or three readings, the hopes and the fears, the projects and disappointments, the good and evil fortune, the joys and the sorrows, of an individual, from the best years of manhood, till the series is closed, after thirty, or forty, or more, years, by a letter in a different hand, on black-edged paper, sealed with black wax. It made me forcibly feel how soon the longest life becomes like a tale that is told." The above extract from one of Southey's own letters seemed no unfit one with which to introduce the present series, and the following prefatory remarks will hardly be considered out of place; - and I use the term "present series" advisedly, because it will be followed up by the Letters of the late Mrs. Southey and Southey separately, from their earliest literary communication, in 1818, to the time of their marriage.

Book Description
Excerpt from Selections From the Letters of Robert Southey, &C., &C., &C, Vol. 4 of 4 I found your letter on my return after an eight weeks' absence. To its former part I can only say that it would be to me a great pleasure to hear often from you, and a still greater to see you. Time and distance make no change in my affections; we shift our se quaintance as we shift our place of abode. Friendship is a different thing, and I never yet cast off a friend till he had shown himself unworthy of standing in that re lation. Among many lies in the newspapers, you have probably made out the truth respecting my return for the borough of Downton; that it was made without my knowledge, and that I have declined the honour, as being neither consistent with my circumstances, incli nations, habits, or pursuits in life. The return happens to be null, because the pension which I hold (200l.) is during pleasure. If I had chosen to take the seat, this might have been transferred to my wife, or made for life, by merely asking to have it done. But I know my station, and am contented in it. My ambition, even 11) youth, would never have led me into public life, and. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
