About this book
Bibliographic Notes on One Hundred Books Famous in English Literature is by Henry Watson Kent. The notes say Fitzgerald first offered his translation to the editor of Fraser’s Magazine, who returned it after holding it a long time, apparently afraid to publish it. The notes describe a little pamphlet in brown paper, with its eleven pages of biography, and five pages of notes, against sixteen pages of poem, as not attractive in appearance.
One entry is headed John Henry Newman, Cardinal, for the Apologia Pro Vita Sua, being a reply to a pamphlet entitled “What, Then, Does Dr. Newman Mean?” An entry on Essay On Man, addressed to a friend, says that the friend to whom the four Epistles that make up the Essay were addressed, under the name of Lælius, was Henry Saint John, first Viscount Bolingbroke. The entry says the first part appeared in February, the second, about April, 1733, and that they were undated and anonymous, for fear of charges against the author’s orthodoxy.
