Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from William Lloyd Garrison, 1805-1879, Vol. 1: The Story of His Life The truth is, he who commences any reform which at last becomes one of transcendent importance and is crowned with victory, is always ill-judged and unfairly estimated. At the outset he is looked upon with contempt, and treated in the most approbrious manner, as a wild fanatic or a dangerous disorganizer. In due time the cause grows and advances to its sure triumph; and in proportion as it nears the goal, the popular estimate of his character changes, till finally excessive panegyric is substituted of outrageous abuse. The praise, on the one hand, and the defamation on the other, are equally unmerited. In the clear light of Reason, it will be seen that he simply stood up to discharge a duty which he owed to his God, to his fellow-men, to the land of his nativity. It appears to us a self-evident truth, that, whatever the gospel of designed to destroy at any period of the world, being contrary to it, ought Now to be abandoned. In short, I did what I could for the redemption of the human race. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
