Lothair (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Lothair<br><br>An American gentleman, with more than courtesy, has forwarded to me a vast number of notices of "Lothair" which have appeared in the leading journals of his country. He tells me that, irrespective of literary "organs," there are in the Union five thousand newspapers, and it is not impossible that some notice of "Lothair" might appear in each of these. However various may be the opinions of those which I thus possess, they appear to me generally to be sincere, and in point of literary ability, taste, style, and critical acumen, I think they need not fear competition with the similar productions of our own land.<br><br>My English publishers also have made a collection of the notices of this work in our own country, and though we have not yet five thousand newspapers, the aggregate of articles is in amount perhaps unprecedented. I have nothing to complain of in their remarks. One could hardly expect at home the judicial impartiality of a foreign land. Personal influences inevitably mingle in some degree with such productions.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
