Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Diamond Mirror, Reflecting Political Points for the People Lord North was married to Lady South about the year 1774. Both were of honorable European descent. Lord North was of sturdy English blood, bold, self-reliant, and enterprising. Lady South was of noble English and French blood combined. She was a lady well educated, refined, and beautiful, and in every way a suitable companion for Lord North. Both were well adapted for developing the resources of the New World. The crowned heads of Europe, with one or two exceptions, viewed this promising match with great aversion and jealousy. They did not like to see established in the New World a family union possessing all the qualities of true nobility and royalty, and yet discarding all the external signs of these qualities. The American idea, embraced by Lord and Lady North, is that nobility is within; the European, that it is without. Notwithstanding considerable opposition, the marriage was accomplished with satisfaction, at least to the two parties most concerned. One pleasant Sabbath morning, as Lord and Lady North were sitting in the parlor, she suddenly arose, and, taking from a stand the old family Bible, handed it to Lord North, saying, "History often repeats itself, and especially the promises in this best of all books. Let us consider the first promise you read as addressed to us." "Agreed," said Lord North. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
