WORDSWORTH A Voyage to Lisbon HENRY FIELDING Essays JAMES A. FROUDE Other Volumes in Preparation . . JOHN LONG, PUBLISHER, LONDON LESS is known about Henry Fielding than of many of the celebrities of the preceding century. When the facts and circumstances of his life might easily have been discovered, there was no one who cared sufficiently to make investigation and we can never know much of him. Fielding's earliest biographer collected and presented a picture of him drawn from contemporary tradition, but his work is misleading, and he did not trouble to obtain trustworthy information from Fielding's widow, brother and sister, whọ were still alive. Fielding died young. When he was thirty-five years of age he was undistinguished, and twelve years later he was dead. If Dr Johnson had died at forty-seven, instead of jat seventy-five, we should have known little or nothing of him. 5 im ne |
