It admits us into the privacies and behind the scenes, and makes us acquainted with the separate parts Of the great whole. In some respects the sight may be calculated to diminish our admiration; but this is only at a casual view, and to an inferior order of Observers. There will always be found great actors as the supporters of great events. Nothing, as Lear says. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
