 | | A later, and, to some moderns, less attractive, phase of the renascence movement was brought nearer to English readers by the one larger work published, amidst a number of smaller contributions to the literature of scholarship and adjoining fields of research, by Mark Pattison, the renowned rector of Lincoln College, Oxford. |
 | | Although much of what Pattison wrote besides Isaac Casaubon (including the collected Essays and a characteristic life of Milton in the 147;English Men of Letters series) is worthy of preservation, it was in his own posthumously published Memoirs (reaching to 1860) that he made an addition of surpassing interest to biographical literature. |
 | | Luckily, the vulgar feeling that a literary life means one devoted to the making of books so far prevailed with Pattison that his pen was rarely idle, and that he made himself memorable, not only in the educational history of his university, but, also, in the history of learning and letters. |
