Excerpt from The Life of George Herbert

IT has been the endeavor in the following pages to pre sent the beautiful career of holy Mr. Herbert, with a simplicity of style and fulness Of detail which should in some degree meet the requirements both of youthful and mature readers.

The Life by Izaak Walton has furnished our chief authority. We have frequently quoted the words of this admirable writer, not only as better than any which we could ourselves Offer, but from a desire to introduce a class of readers - many Of Whom, it is reasonable to sup pose, will, in the following pages, make their first acquaintance with Old English literature - to one of the purest and most delightful authors of our language.
