Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoir of John T. Greble, of the United States Army "I have often heard," says Sallust, "that Quintus Maximus, Publius Scipio, and other renowned persons of the Roman Commonwealth, used to say that whenever they beheld the images of their ancestors, they felt their minds vehemently excited to virtue. It could not be the wax nor the marble that possessed this power, but the recollection of their great actions that kindled a generous flame in their breasts which could not be quelled till they also, by Virtue, had acquired equal fame and glory." In our better era, and in our country of free thought and action, the Biographer may produce such images in more impressive, because historic forms, and so become a public benefactor.
