From the Bric-a-Brac Series. The editor selected the three writers represented in this volume because they are contemporaries; they each knew the friends of the others, and recorded in some instances the impressions they made upon him; and that they introduce the reader to the intellectual life of the same period (Elizabethan). A wonderful collection of sketches by three talented men of their time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
