Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of His Own Time, Vol. 1: With the Suppressed Passages of the First Volume, and Notes by the Earls of Darmouth and Hardwicke, and Speaker Onslow; Hitherto Unpublished, to Which Are Added the Cursory Remarks of Swift and Other Observations In the preparation of a new Edition of Burnet´s History several points have especially demanded attention. Errors, positive or probable, required correction or suggested emendation, and omissions supplement; many statements invited illustration; it was desirable to indicate as far as possible the probable sources of Burnet´s information upon matters which did not come under his personal observation; the notes of the earlier editions obviously needed revision. Finally it was necessary to provide a trustworthy text. Probably no historian of Burnet´s rank and importance has ever been so vigorously or continuously challenged on the ground of prejudice and inaccuracy. The task of meeting this challenge in any satisfactory manner is one which cannot be undertaken in a Preface, unless it is to extend to a wearisome length.
