Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of St. Louis, King of France If one of the greatest privileges of the historian is to paint the actions of great men and transmit them to posterity, what price does not this noble prerogative acquire, when he offers to the admiration of ages, a prince, in whom is found the rare assemblage, of those warlike virtues which constitute heroes; those estimable qualities, which make good kings, and those perfections of the soul, which belong only to the true Christian. Saint Louis, is as much above the most illustrious personages of our history, as the tableau of his life presents advantages rarely found in that of heroes. The latter placed in extraordinary situations, can be offered as models only to a small number of persons; but the actions of Saint Louis have this peculiarity: that each one of them presents a sublime lesson, lasting, applicable to all, and from which, each can draw a useful lesson. Such is the effect of true piety; the least things are ennobled by it; it places, if we may be allowed the expression, heroism at the door of holy and ordinary souls. Louis IX. was a prince destined to be in all things, the model of men. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
