Summary: "Books and Authors" by Anonymous is a collection of anecdotes and character sketches related to literature, likely written in the early 19th century. The book covers a variety of fascinating topics concerning notable authors and literary history, presenting curious facts, memorable incidents, and reflections on the literary scene. At the start of this compilation, the narrative discusses the discovery of John Evelyn's manuscript diary at his family home in Wotton, Surrey, which had been overlooked for years and was uncovered during a conversation about the value of manuscripts. It weaves together tales of literary figures such as Hannah More and Dr. Samuel Johnson, alongside social commentary on the Blue-Stocking Club and the lineage of authors throughout history. It establishes an engaging tone by mixing humor, reverence, and insights into the lives and contributions of authors, creating a rich tapestry of literary appreciation.
