James See also:Bailey received a See also:local See also:education until his sixteenth See also:year, when he matriculated at See also:Glasgow University
.
He did not, however, take his degree, but moved in 1835 to See also:London and entered See also:Lincoln's See also:Inn
.
Without making serious practice of the See also:law he settled at Basford, and for three years was occupied with the See also:composition of Festus, which appeared anonymously in 1839
.
Its success, both in See also:England and See also:America, was immediate
.
It passed through a dozen See also:editions in the See also:country of its See also:birth, and nearly three times as many in the See also:United States; and when in 1889 its author was able to publish a " See also:Jubilee Edition," he could feel that it was one of the ,few poems of ,its See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time which was known to both the older and the younger generations
.
Its author is known almost exclusively by his one voluminous poem, for though Bailey published other verses he is essentially a See also:man of one See also:book
.
Festus has undergone many changes and incorporations, but it remains a singular example of a piece of See also:work virtually completed in youth, and never supplanted or reinforced by later achievements of its author
.
It is a vast See also:pageant of See also:theology and See also:philosophy, comprising in some twelve divisions an See also:attempt to represent the relation of See also:God to man and of man to God, to emphasize the benignity of See also:Providence, to preach the See also:immortality of the soul, and to postulate " a See also:gospel of faith and See also:reason combined." It contains See also:fine lines and dignified thought, but its ambitious theme, and a certain incoherency in the manner in which it is worked out, prevent it from being easily readable by any but the most sympathetic student
.
Bailey died on the 6th of See also:September 1902
