"In one of those bright racy essays at which modern dulness delights to sneer, Hazlitt discussed the question whether the desire of posthumous fame is a legitimate aspiration; and the conclusion at which he arrived was that there is 'something of egotism and even of pedantry in this sentiment.' It is a true saying in literature as in morality that 'he that seeketh his life shall lose it.'." ---- from the Introduction.. Reprint. Trade Paperback. Good.
