Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 126 After much debate among critics, the judgment of mankind seems agreed that the task of biography is best performed by loving, or, at least, by friendly hands. Few of the great pictures of famous men, from Tacitus´ Agricola down, have been done by strangers. Mr. Pierce, who edits these volumes, and is the author of the biography which fills out the spaces loft vacant by Mr. Sumner´s own journals and letters, heard, when a boy of sixteen, the oration on "The True Grandeur of Nations." The acquaintance, made soon afterward, ripened into a friendship as intimate and confidential as any of Sumner´s life. Mr. Sumner was not misled by this friendship when he associated Mr. Pierce with Mr. Longfellow and Mr. Balch as one of his literary executors, doubtless with the expectation that his friend would become his biographer. Mr. Pierce has uncommon qualifications for his task. He is far from being the blind admirer and follower of anybody. He is an excellent lawyer and scholar. He has done much good service of his own in various important public stations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
