Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Quarterly Publication of the Historical and Philosophical Society of Ohio, Vol. 7: January-March; Letters of Thomas Boylston Adams Dear William A favorable occasion presents itself of dropping you a few lines by a vessel for Georgetown. It is the first direct opportunity which has offered since I have been in this Country. Indeed since the conquest of it by the french, external intercourse has been until very lately, altogether interrupted. You may easily conjecture that our residence here has not abounded with scenes of pleasure or amusement. A state of war is always unfavorable to both. The variety of incident however has been great, and the period of the last six months has been peculiarly eventful in this corner of the Globe. In the North, under the immediate influence of the Constellation, not improperly termed the Great Bear of the Russians - we have witnessed the dismemberment of a heretofore powerful Empire, the completion of a partition of its territory and the irrevocable subjection of its inhabitants. Even the poor title of nominal independence is deprived it. In this quarter we have seen the Conquest of a Country not less distinguished heretofore among the powers of Europe but its conquerors were men. Savage brutal barbarity, has heretofore neither marked their approach nor characterized their residence among the people subdued. A conduct at once generous and just seems to be the peculiar attribute of a french army. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
