Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
Présentation de l'éditeur
The Glasse of Time. Divinely handled by THOMAS PEYTON, of Lincolnes Inne, Gent.
The Glasse of Time, written by Thomas Peyton, who died in 1626, seems to have been forgotten for many years, and only came to light in 1816, when Lord Bolland purchased the copy, now in the British Museum, at Mr. Brindley's sale, for £19 5s. The poem itself commences with the beginning of human existence, and treats mainly of the fall of man, subsequently following the descendants of Adam to the time of Noah. In style it is distinctly Miltonian, its chief value lying in the probability that Milton himself may have made use of much of the material contained in it. As to this, the editor, in his introduction, cites parallel passages, which certainly seem to confirm this view. Students of the Paradise Lost should buy The Glasse of Time, if only for purposes of comparison.
