DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Miscellaneous Works in Prose and Verse of Sir Thomas Overbury, Knt: Now First Collected, Edited With Notes, and a Biographical Account of the Author, by Edward F. Rimbault, LL. D. Etc; Etc Few works have been more popular than the characters of Overbury and Bishop Earle. Hallam, in his Introduction to the Literature of Europe, (vol. Iii. P. 153, edit. 1843) thus sums up his notice of the latter The Microcosmography is not an original work in its plan or mode of execution; it is a close imitation of the characters of Sir Thomas Overbury. They both belong to the favourite style of apophthegm, in which every sentence is a point or a witticism. Yet the entire character, so deli neated, produces a certain effect; it is a Dutch picture, a Gerard Dow, somewhat too elaborate. Earle has more natural humour than Overbury, and hits his mark more neatly; the other is more sati rical, but often abusive and vulgar. The Fair and Happy Milkmaid, ' often quoted, is the best of his characters. The wit is often trivial and flat; the sen timents have nothing in them general, or worthy of much remembrance; praise is only due to the graphic skill in delineating character. Earle is as clearly the better, as Overbury is the more original writer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

His Cha racters, or Witty Descriptions of the Properties of Sundry Persons, ' is a work of considerable merit; but unfortunately his prose, as well as his verse, has a dryness and quaintncss that seems to oppress the natural movement of his thoughts. As a post he has few imposing attractions: his beauties must be fetched by repeated perusal. They are those of solid reflection, predominating over, but not extina guishing sensibility; and there is danger of the reader neglecting, under the coldness and ruggedness of his manner, the manly but unostentatious moral feeling that is conveyed in hismaxims, whieh are sterlingand liberal, ifwecanonlypanlonafcw obsolete ideas on female education.
