Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Complete Works of John L. Motley, Vol. 1 The admirable Memoir of Mr. Motley by his friend Oliver Wendell Holmes renders the addition of any biographical notice to the volumes unnecessary. The letters now published were written mainly to members of his family, and have been collected by his daughters. In preparing them for publication, the editor has withheld whatever he believed that the writer´s good judgment and thoughtful consideration for others would have omitted. This rule excludes comments upon persons and affairs which, however innocent or playful, might cause needless pain or misapprehension. It excludes, also, much of the repetition which naturally occurs in such letters, and a large part of the domestic and friendly messages and allusions, which, although illustrating the writer´s generous sympathy and affectionate disposition, are essentially private. If much of such matter is still left, it is because, with all his interest in literary pursuits and in public affairs, Mr. Motley was essentially a domestic man, and a more rigid exclusion could not have been made without injustice to his character. Otherwise the letters are printed as they were written. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
