Excerpt from The Book of Authors: A Collection of Criticisms, Ana, Môts, Personal Descriptions, Etc, Wholly Referring to English Men of Letters in Every Age of English Literature

Among English writers will be found names more generally associated with painting, music, the senate, and the stage. These names, as in the case of Hogarth, Reynolds, Burke, Macklin, Foote, and others, have been admitted without re ference to vocation.

Of Divines not many have been included. The most familiar names in English Church History are eminent rather by their acts and by the example of their lives than by their writings. A few American authors have been inserted. Room would have been found for more could more criticisms have been collected.
