Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The People´s Life of General Zachary Taylor, the Hero of Palo Alto, Moneterey, and Buena Vista Genius, or great natural capacity, unaided by experience and unfortified by previous application, may often prove equal to a sudden exigence But the upward flight which challenges admiration may in the next moment be followed by a mortifying plunge, which escapes censure only by the intervention of pity. Hence we find that mere genius has needed apologists in the ratio of its admirers; and that in the relation of the lives of brilliant men, the voice of praise must alternate with pleadings for their deficiencies. Between what they have done well, and what they have committed ill - between what they have performed and what they have neglected - a world usually indulgent to the gifted strikes the balance in their favour with an "if," and their account is rendered, like a factor´s bill, with "errors excepted."
