Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Henry Scott Holland: Memoir and Letters So many of Scott Hollands friends have helped me, that it is impossible for me to thank each of them here. Mrs. Ady, whose friendship with him goes back to 1870, was to have written this book: she and her daughter collected and arranged some of the materials for it: a long illness interrupted the work, and it was entrusted to me. I have given a full account of his early life, especially of the years between 1868 and 1874. I hope that I have not done wrong to make free use of R.L. Nettleship sletters. They do not represent all that was in him: they belong to a time when differences of belief were taken gravely, as a tragedy, which now are taken lightly, as a comedy. Men who only knew him as a teacher of pure philosophy in Oxford will wonder at them, and perhaps will feel that they were too intimate for publication. But I could not get away from them, nor could I give without them a clear picture of Holland at Balliol. Besides, I doubt whether the present statements of differences of belief are so well worth studying as the interchange of thoughts, half a century ago, between T.H. Green, Nettleship, and Holland. In his letters, Holland was rather prodigal of little affectionate phrases, and of capitals I find him, for instance, writing of Course and of words underlined. I have not always copied these: and I have not always marked the omission of sentences in letters from or to him.
