A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

February 1869, there died, in the Fonda de los Principes, at Madrid, Gustave Bergenroth, a German man of letters. Possibly not one in a hundred now who here reads his name may have heard it before. To the general public Bergenroth was unknown. During many years he had been engrossed in arduous but silent labours of a nature which have little attraction for the merely general reader. The single literary work of any compass Bergenroth had lived to accomplish was the editing of several volumes in the series of State Paper Calendars in course of issue under direction of the Master of the Rolls. But volumes containing abstracts of State-papers, however precious these may be, and with however striking Introductions they may be prefaced, never can become popular reading. The only other traces to be found of Bergenroth swriting are in fugitive pieces, either contributions to periodicals or stray pamphlets, bearing indeed, for the most part, visible stamp of earnest study in their matter, but which, from the mere fact of having been embodied in an ephemeral form, have dropped out of general sight. Gustave Bergenroth sname will come therefore to most persons without the associations that arrest attention instinctively.
