Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Elizabeth or the Exiles of Siberia; A Tale Founded on Facts The incidents that form this story are founded on truth. No imagination, however fertile, could have produced actions so noble, or sentiments so generous. It is the heart alone that can inspire them. The girl who conceived the design of delivering her father from exile, and who carried it into effect, notwithstanding all obstacles that opposed it, really did exist. She was no child of fiction, but of nature; and should my little work possess any degree of beauty, it is to that source that we must ascribe it. I have heard of many authors charged with painting virtue in too vivid a colouring. I do not fall under this censure, however, as I posses not a genius sufficiently creative to deck virtue in more brilliant clothing; nor do I conceive that any pen, by employing all that is eloquent and pathetic.
