The Life of Henry Morley, LL. D
Excerpt from The Life of Henry Morley, LL. D: Professor of the English Language and Literature at University College, London With regard to his own writings, they remain to speak for themselves, and finally attain their rightful place, whatever that may be, in our English literature. I have tried to bear in mind his conviction that a book is part of the man who writes it, and that to understand the book we should know the man.
