About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from Erasmus, Vol. 1 of 2: His Life and Character; As Shown in His Correspondence and WorksAn attempt to do over again that which has been already done, is naturally thought to require some justification, and the justification almost inevitably takes the form of a disparagement of previous labourers in the same field - a disparagement which sometimes brings a severe but just retribution on the head of the new comer. The present writer is fortunately spared from taking any such invidious task upon his own shoulders. The standard lives of Erasmus in English are those of Butler and Jortin, the former of which Dean Milman, in his essay on Erasmus, has pronounced to be "a neat and terse, but meagre and unsatisfactory abstract" of Burigni's work.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
