A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The following attempt at the formation of a bibliography of the works written by, or relating to, Sir Walter Ralegh, will perhaps be thought by some to embrace a much wider field than might be necessary; and so no doubt it would be, if a bibliography of the county of Devon were followed on the same lines. But where an individual or a place is selected as its subject, the enlarged plan appears to possess many advantages. It presents a favourable opportunity of giving additional particulars, and of adding extended notes to the various works noticed, so as to make it of more practical value. By pointing out the dates, titles, etc., of any reprints, references are facilitated ;and by bringing into association a larger number of works under the same heading than would be advisable or practicable in the instance of a general work on the county, there results not simply a barren record of the titles of works, but a kind of connected literary history of the subject chosen. That such a plan, carried out with respect to other individuals, etc., would be of future service to county and other bibliographers, can scarcely be denied. It appears at first sight somewhat remarkable that so few of our authors works were printed during his lifetime. The first, published in 1591, was A report of the truth of the fight about the I sles of A gores; the second, in 1596, The Discoverie of Gviana; and in 1614, the History of the World: this is the complete list. This was mainly due to the majority of his works having been written during the reign of James I., when many obstacles prevented their publication. As a substitute for this, however, a large number of MS.
