Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Marquis of Pombal A preface to the Life of the Marquis of Pombal ought perhaps to be addressed more especially to his countrymen. For, if the author could venture to expect any commendation for his humble attempt to vindicate the character of that illustrious statesman from the aspersions cast upon his memory, he would especially desire to receive it at the hands of those readers, in whose breasts the name of Sebastian Joseph de Carvalho e Mello might be supposed to excite emotions of a proud and generous, patriotism. History scarcely furnishes the parallel of another genius, whose fame has been so foully tarnished by the prejudice and malignity of his enemies. For, in what other light can we regard any biographer of Pombal, sprung from the race, or educated in the principles, of the Jesuits?
