Illustrations of the Literary History of the Eighteenth Century : Consisting of Authentic Memoirs and Original Letters of Eminent Persons, and Intended as a Sequel to the Literary Anecdotes

Omtale

This eight-volume set, published 1817–58 by the Nichols family, is a sequel to John Nichols' Literary Anecdotes (1812–15), and provides a useful source of biographical material on authors and publishers at a time when many of the literary genres we now take for granted were first being developed.
