Excerpt from The Works of John Dryden

To begin with Dryden's dreadful name, Should mark out something of no common fame.

I cannot omit remarking, that the Dialogue concludes with a profuse panegyric, upon a theme not very congenial to Dryden's4 preface TO A dialogue concerning women.

Rese�a del editor

Excerpt from The Works of John Dryden

I begin the postface or postscript which I promised long ago to this revised edition of Sir Walter Scott's "Dryden," after a far longer interval than I had expected, and in a mood something the same as that of Sir Henry Taylor's hero when he surveyed the perilous shelf that nursed his infant courage. It must be almost unnecessary to assure the subscribers to the book of the extreme annoyance and regret which the delay in its completion has caused me. But I may not improperly give them the assurance that this delay has been due to causes which were not merely, as the common phrase goes, "beyond my control," but also quite independent of any action or failure to act on my part. With the exception of this last volume (which for obvious reasons could not be taken in hand till the others were through the press) the entire work was, so far as I was concerned, ready for that press more than ten years ago.
