Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life and Letters of Fenton John Anthony Hort, Vol. 2 The principal part of the years 1863-65, the period during which Hort enjoyed enforced immunity from parish work, was spent at Cheltenham. The summers, like those of 1861 and 1862, were given to long Alpine pilgrimages. Fortunately for his own peace of mind, he was not forbidden to work in these years of rest; moderate exercise of the brain was said to be good for him. Indeed, at no time of his life is it conceivable that he could have reconciled himself to complete holiday; his nerves and spirits would always have lost more than they gained by absence of occupation. In the Alps, the Greek Testament text was his principal work, at which he always laboured systematically, as at a task which might not be put aside for more inviting subjects. In 1864 a decided step forward was made; when staying alone in the Mont Cenis region he finished a first draft of the Introduction.
