Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Religious Life in Germany: During the Wars of Independence, a Series of Historical and Biographical Sketches Great as was the pleasure which the preparation of these memoirs afforded me, it is with timidity that I offer them to the public, now that they are at length completed. For the task of producing, by means of sketches of the most eminent exponents of it, a picture of religious life during the wars of independence, required, besides a general knowledge of the history of the period, and an acquaintance with manifold details, a talent for seizing on the salient points in the lives of eminent persons, so as to produce a vivid portrait of them. I am fully conscious of having performed the task only very imperfectly, and console myself with the hope, that the importance of the subject of my book will atone for many imperfections in its form. But in order to anticipate objections which may present themselves to the reader, I beg him to give attention to a few introductory remarks. It may be asked, if the object was to present proofs of the renewal of religious life during the wars of independence, why this was not effected by selecting and grouping together these proofs from the lives of individuals, rather than by means of biographical sketches? I answer, that the latter form was chosen, in the hope of thereby securing for the book a larger circle of readers, especially among women and young people. And if I may judge from the pleasure which I have always had in biography myself, I should say that there is something peculiarly attractive and inciting in tracing the course by which a man attained to eminence.
