Professor of Rhetoric in Brown University PREFACE The text of the present edition of Irving's life of Goldsmith is taken without change, by permission of the publishers, Messrs. G. P. Putnam's Sons, from the author's final revised edition. Irving's notes to the text are indicated by the star (*); additions by the editor to the author's notes are inclosed within brackets; the editor's own notes are indicated by numbers. Proper names are annotated only when the note serves to make clearer the point of an allusion in the text. The editor may say that he has edited the book with the main purpose of bringing out its value as a picture of eighteenth century literary life, rather than as an example of the work of Irving. |
