Curiosities Of Literature

By I. D'Israeli

Published by Edward Moxon: London 1841 12th Edition


" Isaac D'Israeli (11 May 1766 - 19 January 1848) was a British writer, scholar and the father of British prime minister Benjamin Disraeli. He is best known for his essays and his associations with other men of letters. His most popular work was a collection of essays entitled Curiosities of Literature . The work contained myriad anecdotes about historical persons and events, unusual books, and the habits of book-collectors. The work was very popular and sold widely in the 19th century, reaching its eleventh edition (the last to be revised by the author) in 1839. It was still in print when the Encyclopædia Britannica entry was written in 1911. "
