Description
Excerpt from History of English Humour, Vol. 1 of 2: With an Introduction Upon Ancient HumourThe ludicrous is in its character so elusive and protean, and the field over which it extends is so vast, that few have ever undertaken the task of examining it systematically. Many philosophers and literary men have made passing observations upon it, but most writers are content to set it down as one of those things which cannot be understood, and care not to study and grapple with a subject which promises small results in return for considerable toil. Moreover, the inquiry does not seem sufficiently important to warrant the expenditure of much time upon it, and there has always been a great tendency among learned men to underrate the emotional feelings of our nature.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
