Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life of the Late John With Notices of His Hunting, Shooting, Driving At all events, my purpose is not to hold up the torch to the failings of my old and never-forsaken friend - my chief object being to account for them, and leave his virtues to speak for themselves. I owe him pity on the score of human nature; he claims it by his own acts and deeds; and, above all, by one act of Him to whose will all men must bow, and by whom all men´s deeds will be weighed. Let not the lash of censure, then, fall too heavy upon one who himself carried charity to excess! Let the greatness of his fall be unto him as a shield; let it be remembered he died in a prison, an epitome of human misery! A glance over his history, however, may not be unprofitable; it will "point a moral," if it do not "adorn a tale." But it may be objected that I am not the person fitted to perform this task; for, "where is the man," says Johnson, "who can confine himself to the exact balance of justice when his own feelings are unwittingly thrown into the scale?"
