Works Comprising His Essays Journey Into Italy And Letters With Notes From All The Commentators Biographical And Bibliographical Notices Etc Vol I
Author: Michel de Montaigne

WORKS OF MONTAIGNE. IN FOUR VOLUhZES. VOL. I. - 1859 - EDITORS ADVERTISEMENT - THIS edition of DIonteignes Works is a reproduction, with changes in form, with corrections, and important additions, of Rlr. IVilliam Hazlitts edition, published by Templeman, in London. The first three volumes contain the Essays the fourth, and last, contains the Jo... more »urney into Italy, and the Letters. The Essays are preceded at the beginning of vol. i. by Mr. Hazlitts Preface, and his Life of Blontnigne. They are followed at the end of vol. iii. by an Appendix, and an Index to the Quotations. The Appendix consists of two parts A bibliographical notice of the various edii. ions of Blontaignes Essays, and an account of the portraits of Montaigne. The notice of the various editions of the Essays is as complete as even a professional bibliographer could desire. Tlre Journey and the Letters vol. iv. are preceded by an Abridgment of Mr. Bayle St. Johns recent Biography of Dlontaigne. They are followed by an Appendix and a rery full Analytical Index to all the volumes. The Abridgment of Mr. St. Johns Biography will be found to contain all the facts concerning the Essayist, recently brought to light in France by Dr. Payen, 31. Griin, and others. We have abridged the work considerably more than one half, but have aimed to omit nothing directly pertaining to Blontaigne. We beg to recommend its perusal as a prep aration for the Essays. vi EDITORS ADVERTISEAIENT. The final Appendix contains references to the principal 3pinions that have been passed upon Blontaigne and his moi-ks. From tlie more important of these opinio cosp ious extl-acts l aveb een given. I t is, we believe, the completest list of works to be consulted with reference to DIontaigne, anywhere to be found. The changes in form, then, consist in the distribution of the matter of 3lr. IIazlitts prolegomeaa into the two Appendices. We have oinitted portions of his longer quotations-especially of those in foreign languages,-and have added much that is new. As to the corrections, aided by our intelligent printers, we have verified the quotations in the Essays, not only by recurring to the best French editions, but also to the originals. In this important regard, nre sincerely believe that our edition is the lnost accurate hitherto published, whether in French or English. Tlle completion-already indicated-of the bibliographical and critical notices, the Abridgment of DIr. St. Johns Biograplly, and several letters more recently discovered, and published in no previous English edition of Jlontaignes IVorli, constitute the additions we l-rave made to the edition of DZr. I-Iazlitt. The Indices have been prepared with unusual care. The typography speaks for itself. We hope the lovers of the wise old Gascon Essayist will find in this edition all they could desire, and to them we cordially dedicate it. 0. TV. TVLGHT. February, 1859. CONTENTS OF VOLUME I.
