Memorials and Other Papers Volume 1 is a collection of essays and memoirs written by the English author Thomas de Quincey. The book includes a variety of topics, ranging from literary criticism to personal anecdotes. The first part of the book includes essays on literary figures such as William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, as well as de Quincey's thoughts on various literary genres such as poetry and fiction. The second part of the book is a collection of personal memoirs, including de Quincey's experiences as a student at Oxford University and his travels in Europe. Overall, Memorials and Other Papers Volume 1 provides a glimpse into the mind of one of England's most celebrated writers and offers insights into his literary and personal life.The books now existing upon the ancient oracles, above all, upon the Greek oracles, amount to a small library. The facts have been collected from all quarters, --examined, sifted, winnowed. Theories have been raised upon these facts under every angle of aspect; and yet, after all, we profess ourselves to be dissatisfied. Amongst much that is sagacious, we feel and we resent with disgust a taint of falsehood diffused over these recent speculations from vulgar and even counterfeit incredulity; the one gross vice of German philosophy, not less determinate or less misleading than that vice which, heretofore, through many centuries, had impoverished this subject, and had stopped its discussion under the anile superstition of the ecclesiastical fathers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
