`One of the most notable and attractive forms of English Literature is the essay. In his introduction to this selection, first made for Pelicans in 1942 and now enlarged and reprinted, Sir William Emrys Williams points out that the Essay `has a multitude of forms and manners, and scarcely any rules and regulations`. Although many of the pieces chosen for this volume are such well-known ones as Charles Lamb`s In Praise of Chimney-sweepers or De Quincey`s memorable commentary on an episode in Macbeth, an endeavour has been made to remind readers that Addison, for example, wrote other and better essays than the few which are usually included in anthologies. Modern writers such as Hilaire Belloc, J. B. Priestley, Aldous Huxley, Robert Lynd, Ivor Brown, Harold Nicolson, E. V. Lucas, and V. S. Pritchett are given a fair share of representation.`
