A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Essays, may seem presumptuous; but by a liberal construction of the dictionary definition, they may fee so styled without grave offence, for they are short sketches, disquisitions, and experiments. Far be it from me to make pretense to the honorable name of essayist. Essayists, like poets, are born and not made, says Henley, and I am glad that he adds concerning the essayist, for wisdom, it is not absolutely necessary that he have it. That relieves my mind greatly. He also assures us that the essayist seems to write not for bread nor for a place in society, but for the pleasure of writing. This also reassures me. At all events, whether these are essays or something infinitely less, they were written at Edgehill; the place in Warwickshire where Charles I. and fought their famous battle, nor the rambling building at Princeton where years ago lads were prepared for college, but in a New Jersey cottage on the brow of a hill. The atmosphere there is more bookish than that of Wall Street, but it must be owned that some essays produced in that financial region have been pecuniarily more profitable than their country companions. They were railway mortgages. The style was dry and monotonous, but it was serious and convincing.
