Book Description
Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Laurence Sterne, Vol. 1 of 2 It is astonishing that a man of letters so eminent as Laurence Sterne should have had to wait nearly a hundred years for a biographer. John Wilkes and John Hall-Stevenson, when their friend died, announced their intention to write his life, but, in spite of his daughter's frequent reminders, they never even began the task. It was not until the eve of the centenary of his death that the "Life of Sterne," by Mr. Percy Fitzgerald, appeared; and this work remained in sole possession of the field for several decades. "It contains," Mr. Traill wrote of it in his monograph on Sterne, contributed in 1882 to the "English Men of Letters" series, "nearly all the information as to the facts of Sterne's life that is now ever likely to be recovered." This statement, happily, was soon falsified by the discovery of numerous letters and other material, which Mr. Fitzgerald incorporated in the 1896 edition of his work; and once again critics declared that now the sources of information were all disclosed.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Works of Laurence Sterne, Vol. 1 of 6: Letters of Laurence Sterne to His Most Intimate Friends Were I to please myself, I should write here a brief appreciation of the letters and miscellanies of Sterne that have been published since his death. But if, as it is said, good wine needs no bush, an essay of that kind would be a redundancy. Whim and sentiment, it may be taken for granted, alternate as delightfully in the letters as in Tristram Shandy or in the Sentimental Journey. It is likewise unnecessary to dwell upon the interest that the letters must have in considering Sterne the man; for the illumination is broad and clear. At any rate, a greater service may be performed, I think, by giving a connected account of the items that make up these volumes. Whence have been derived these letters, fragments, sketches, and anecdotes? - As so much that is spurious continues to circulate under Sterne's name, this is a question that needs answer.

Excerpt from The Works of Laurence Sterne, Vol. 1 of 4: Containing the Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, a Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy; Sermons, Letters, &C; With a Life of the Author The bookseller made a bow, and was going to say something, when a young decent girl, about twenty, who by her air and dress seemed to be fille de chambre to some devout woman of fashion, came into the shop and asked for Les Egarements du C ur et de l'Esprit. The bookseller gave her the book directly: she pulled out a little green satin purse, run round with a ribband of the same colour, and putting her finger and thumb into it, she took out the money and paid for it. - As I had nothing more to stay me in the shop, we both walk'd out of the door together. - And what have you to do, my dear, said I, with The Wanderings of the Heart, who scarce know yet you have one? nor, till Love has first told you it, or some faithless shepherd has made it ache, canst thou ever be sure it is so. - Le Dieu m'en garde! said the girl. - With reason, said I; for if it is a good one, 'tis a pity it should be stolen; 'tis a little treasure to thee, and gives a better air to your face than if it was dresse'd out with pearls. The young girl listened with a submissive attention, holding her satin purse by its ribband in her hand all the time. 'Tis a very small one, said I, taking hold of the bottom of it - (she held it towards me) - and there is very little in it, my dear, said I; but be but as good as thou art handsome, and Heaven will fill it. I had a parcel of crowns in my hand to pay for Shakespeare; and as she had let go the purse entirely, I put a single one in; and tying up the ribband in a bow-knot, returned it to her. The young girl made me more a humble courtesy than a low one: - 'twas one of those quiet, thankful sinkings, where the spirit bows itself down, - the body does no more than tell it. I never gave a girl a crown in my life which gave me half the pleasure. My advice, my dear, would not have been worth a pin to you, said I, if I had not given this along with it: but now, when you see the crown, you'll remember it; - so don't, my dear, lay it out in ribbands.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Life of Laurence Sterne, Vol. 1 I have been obliged, however, to modify the too favourable opinion I entertained of Sterne's life and character, and am constrained to admit that Mr. Thackeray's view - harsh as it may seem had much to support it. Yorick's Journal, which I have read through carefully, is fatally damaging; exhibiting a repulsive combination of Pharisaical utterances and lax principle. This would seem to show that Mr. Sterne was something more than the mere philanderer he described himself to be. Mr. Elwin was long ago constrained to adopt the safne view. Indeed, it may be always fairly presumed that licentious writing is almost certain to, be followed by life and practice as licentious.
