Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Naval History of Great Britain, Including the History and Lives of the British Admirals, Vol. 4 of 8 It is a misfortune, which we must be content to deplore without hopes of redress, since it is a misfortune flowing from liberty, that in all free countries the greatest men are liable to be sacrificed to clamour; and innocence is not always a security against the shafts of envy. This was the case of the gentleman of whom we are now to speak, and who, in the short space of one single summer, was in the highest credit, lost it, and was actually laid aside: so fluctuating a thing is human happiness; so fickle a possession is popularity, and so little to be depended on a prince´s favour: These are the reflections that will naturally arise on the reading the memoirs of our admiral; and they are premised only to shew, that I think as the reader does, and do not believe myself obliged to follow the humours of those, who have treated his memory with the same prejudice with which they pursued him living.
