Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Charles Sumner In attempting to write a life of Charles Sumner I was met at the outset with the practical difficulty which specially confronts those who would write of a time only fast passed. Should I assume a knowledge of recent history on the part of the reader, or should I assume his ignorance of those events which made the background of Summer´s life; in other words, should I write for those who already knew more than I could hope to know of those events, or for the generation that now is, which as a matter of that knows nothing of a time too far away for personal knowledge and too near for written history? Upon consideration, it seemed better to so write the story of this man´s life that it should be a whole story, and that the reader need not look elsewhere to find any fact essential to comprehension of the situation.
