LESSING: His Life and Writings.
By JAMES SIME, M.A.
Second Edition.
“It is to Lessing that an Englishman would turn with readiest affection. We cannot but wonder that more of this man is not known amongst us.”—Thomas Carlyle.
“But to Mr. James Sime has been reserved the honour of presenting to the English public a full-length portrait of Lessing, in which no portion of the canvas is uncovered, and in which there is hardly a touch but tells. We can say that a clearer or more compact piece of biographic criticism has not been produced in England for many a day.”—Westminster Review.
“An account of Lessing’s life and work on the scale which he deserves is now for the first time offered to English readers. Mr. Sime has performed his task with industry, knowledge, and sympathy; qualities which must concur to make a successful biographer.”—Pall Mall Gazette.
