Description
Essays is a gathering of the essays of Winthrop Mackworth Praed. The pieces were gathered and set in order by Sir George Young. An opening essay by Henry Morley, a professor of English literature at University College, London, stands at the front. The book came out in London in 1887 from George Routledge and Sons, as part of Morley's Universal Library.
The front pages list the first books of that library to show its scope. Sheridan's plays stand first, then plays from Moliere by English hands, and Marlowe's Faustus with Goethe's Faust. The Chronicle of the Cid, Rabelais, and Machiavelli's Prince stand in the list as well. The volume at hand gives Praed's essays a place in that cheap set of classics for the plain reader.
