Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Sir Anthony Panizzi, K. C. B , Vol. 2 of 2: Late Principal Librarian of the British Museum, Senator of Italy, &C., &C A most important phase in the life of Panizzi has now to be entered upon; but, before reciting the facts of the case, we must premise that the high position then within his grasp was not obtained without some considerable personal pain and heartburning, owing to the ungenerous statements of the press, to which more particular allusion will presently be made. In the year 1856, Sir Henry Ellis had attained his seventy-ninth year; it is not, therefore, a matter of surprise that his failing energies were inadequate to the unceasing and important duties which of necessity were entailed upon him as the head of the British Museum; indeed, he must himself have felt the necessity of withdrawing from so responsible a post. He was, however, anticipated (had such an idea ever seriously occurred to him) in his intention by a private request, delicately referred to him, and with the following liberal terms attached. The understanding was that he should voluntarily resign, and should receive the full amount-of his salary and emoluments as a superannuation allowance.
