About this book
Literary Character of Men of Genius, by Isaac Disraeli, carries the line Drawn from Their Own Feelings and Confessions. The title page describes the volume as A New Edition Edited by His Son THE EARL OF BEACONSFIELD. A preface says the volume comprises the author's writings on subjects chiefly of our vernacular literature.
The text says Wilkes declared on his retirement into Italy, I mean to give myself entirely to our friend's work, and to my History of England. The text says we are accustomed to consider Wilkes merely as a political adventurer. The text says such men have not been unhappily described by the Hollanders as lief-hebbers, lovers or fanciers. The text says that, with the habit of studious men, the king had an utter carelessness of money and a generosity of temper, which Hacket, in his Life of the Lord-Keeper Williams, has described.
