Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Biographical Memoirs of the Illustrious General George Washington: Late President of the United States of America, and Commander in Chief of Their Armies, During the Revolutionary War In the history of Man, we contemplate with particular satisfaction, those legislators, heroes, and philosophers, whose wisdom, valour, and virtue have contributed to the happiness of the human species. We trace the luminous progress of those excellent beings with secret complacency; our emulation is roused, while we behold them steadily pursue the path of rectitude, in defiance of every obstruction; we rejoice that we were of the same species, and thus, Self-love becomes the hand-maid of Virtue. The authentic pages of Biography unite the most grateful amusement with instruction. - Truth supports the dignity of the Historic Muse who will not admit of either fulsome panegyric, or invidious censure. She describes her hero with genuine simplicity - mentions his frailties, his characteristic peculiarities, and his shining qualities.
