Omschrijving

Cowley's Essays is a collection of essays written by the English poet and essayist, Abraham Cowley. The book is a compilation of Cowley's most notable essays, covering a range of topics including love, friendship, politics, and religion. Cowley's writing is known for its wit, humor, and poetic language, and his essays are no exception. The collection includes some of Cowley's most famous essays such as ""Of Myself"" and ""Of Agriculture."" In these essays, Cowley explores his own life experiences and observations, as well as the broader issues of his time. Cowley's Essays is a must-read for anyone interested in the literature of the seventeenth century and the development of the essay as a literary form.Since we cannot attain to greatness, says the Sieur de Montaigne, let us have our revenge by railing at it; this he spoke but in jest. I believe he desired it no more than I do, and had less reason, for he enjoyed so plentiful and honourable a fortune in a most excellent country, as allowed him all the real conveniences of it, separated and purged from the incommodities. If I were but in his condition, I should think it hard measure, without being convinced of any crime, to be sequestered from it and made one of the principal officers of state.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
