Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Model Merchant of the Middle Ages, Exemplified in the Story of Whittington and His Cat If books wore as scarce in the present day as they were at the time when the subject of this Memoir lived, no apology would be needed for adding one more small volume to the catalogue of existing publications; but when the author himself admits the impossibility of making acquaintance with even a thousandth part of the literature of the age in which he lives, some sort of excuse ought, perhaps, to be offered for obtruding another volume, however small, upon a public already satiated with food for the mind. In the present instance he feels that the subject of his biographical notice has never met with the commonest justice; that his hero has hitherto been made the handle of a mere childish romance; that he has been east aside as a myth by some graver writers, or has been so misrepresented in the histories hitherto presented to the public, which are full of inaccuracies and anachronisms, that it seems difficult to place his story in its true light, so as to claim for so distinguished a character his proper place in the biography of our country: he trusts, therefore, that this notice of so celebrated a man will not be thought altogether out of place.
