Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Frederick York Powell a Life and a Selection From His Letters, and Occasional Writings, Vol. 1 of 2 The following Memoir, like all such labours, is something of a mosaic; and many of the clearer and happier colours in the pattern are due to York Powell´s friends. For the adding and inlaying, as well as for the choice of all materials, the editor has to answer. Various reasons have led me to include more of the handiwork of others than is common in biographies. I have come on few letters written by Powell before his twenty-eighth year, though in recompense there are some lively pictures of his youth and boyhood. He kept no diary. Hardly any of the letters he received, except those from Dr. Gudbrand Vigfusson, are in existence. I did not know him till he was thirty-five, and we were neighbours for only a few years, though we regularly met and corresponded. Another reason for quoting freely is that there were many sides, and thus many readings, of Powell. There is but one voice as to the strength and beauty of his affections. But his mind was so hospitable that he touched many persons and circles far apart from one another: ´different packs of cards´ (as one of his oldest friends writes) ´which were never dealt out together.´ Hence he is best shown by many witnesses speaking independently.
