Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Excerpt from The Oxford English Prize Essays, Vol. 1: A New Edition Brought Down to the Present Time The early productions of men distinguished in public life, who have by the force of successful talent attained unto fame and fortune, have ever awakened anxious curiosity. In submitting the Oxford English Prize Essays to the public, it is conceived that a very generally diffused feeling of the kind will be gratified. The inquiries that have for many years been made after the Essays to which this brief advertisement is prefixed, have induced the publisher to collect the present volumes, which he now offers to the public in the belief that he is adding an elegant and agreeable work to our literature, and without any further introduction than the expression of his grateful thanks to those noblemen and gentlemen who have favoured him with copies of their essays.

Excerpt from The Oxford English Prize Essays, Vol. 3 But if drawn from the hope of posthumous regard, there is still one ground upon which nature will make her last stand - the solicitude of holding a place in the remembrance, at least, of others. Our acquired habits of thinking cause us to recoil from the prospect of Oblivion, which is annihilation in one Of its most dreary and de grading forms. TO be totally forgotten, to have our remains blended indiscriminately with the dust, without a record or a place, is so intolerable even to the minds of the lowest order, that the desire to avoid it has been able to wring from want some portion of its scanty supplies, and extort a provision from the rapacious habits of vice. To provide a coffin or a tombstone, the poor man will deny his need, and the prodigal his usual indulgence.
