Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Diary of Sir John Moore, Vol. 1 of 2 Dear Miss Moore I had hoped that this record of the career of your noble Uncle would have been published before your hundredth birthday. I am sorry that it will not reach you till that date has passed. You have known all the changes in the popular impressions about him. You remember the national enthusiasm which greeted the news of the hero´s death. To that generation his career was familiar as a household word. It was not possible that all the details that were necessary to make it understood should have been set forth much before the present time. That lofty character easily lent itself to misrepresentation because it was not moulded to the pattern of the passing hour. I have a strong belief that the inherent strength of the figure as it comes out from his own casting will bear the shocks of time, I have done my best to clear away the extraneous matter that has settled on the grand statue. I hope I have not in doing so marred it with rude hands. Yours with the deepest respect F.
