Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Richard Brinsley Sheridan The Anglo-Irish family of Sheridan possessed in a marked degree the dominant characteristics of their race - ability, buoyancy, and thriftlessness. Among Swift´s Irish friends none is so interesting as Dr. Thomas Sheridan, the dramatist´s grandfather. He was an accomplished scholar, and a good schoolmaster; excellent company - Lord Orrery describes him as a punster, a quibbler, a fiddler, and a wit - but hopelessly improvident and hopelessly devoid of tact, though assuredly not of tenderness. He was one of the few men whom Swift seems to have really esteemed, though the Dean´s calculating friendship but poorly returned the wealth of affection bestowed on him by the open-hearted Irishman. In justice to Swift, however, it should be pointed out that Dr. Sheridan was one of those persons for whom it is well-nigh impossible to obtain anything. He was appointed one of the chaplains to the Lord Lieutenant, but was promptly struck off the list for a very adequate reason.
