Life and Books: Or, Records of Thought and Reading
(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Life and Books, or Records of Thought and Reading (Classic Reprint)
(Excerpt from Life and Books, or Records of Thought and Re...)
Excerpt from Life and Books, or Records of Thought and Reading The title I have adopted may, I think, be fairly given to a book derived, in nearly equal proportions, from the two sources of reading and experience. From its fragmentary and desultory form, it may have to the reader the appearance of a collection of debris, or wreck; this, I assure him, is not the case. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.

We do, however, repair the vast majority of imperfections successfully; any imperfections that remain are intentionally left to preserve the state of such historical works.

John Boyes
Edit ProfileEducation
After a very creditable school career extending over nearly ten years, he studied law at Street John"s College, Oxford. He graduated Bachelor in 1833, taking a second class in classics, his papers on history and poetry being of marked excellence.
Career
After graduation he was appointed second master of a school in Walthamstow and eventually succeeded to the head-mastership, which he filled for many years. Archdeacon James Hessey said of him that "There was not an English or Latin or Greek poet with whom he was not familiar, and from whom he could not make the most apposite quotations. With the best prose authors in our own and in French, and indeed other continental literature, he was thoroughly acquainted." The closing years of his life were largely devoted to charity and he died at Maida Hill, London.
