📖 Эта книга — репринт оригинального издания (издательство "London, Macmillan", 1882 год), созданный на основе электронной копии высокого разрешения, которую очистили и обработали вручную, сохранив структуру и орфографию оригинального издания. Редкие, забытые и малоизвестные книги, изданные с петровских времен до наших дней, вновь доступны в виде печатных книг.Sterne alighted from the York mail, just as Byron ""awoke one morning,"" to ""find himself famous."" Seldom indeed has any lion so suddenly discovered been pursued so eagerly and by such a distinguished crowd of hunters. The chase was remarkable enough to have left a lasting impression on the spectators; for it was several years after (in 1773) that Dr. Johnson, by way of fortifying his very just remark that ""any man who has a name or who has the power of pleasing will be generally invited in London,"" observed gruffly that ""the man Sterne,"" he was told, ""had had engagements for three months.""
