Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life Christopher Columbus: Discoverer of the New World, a Biographical Sketch As long as Englishmen are sailors and merchants, and love enterprise and admire greatness of courage, they ought to hold in veneration the memory of Christopher Columbus. If anything could shake his popularity in England, it is to be feared that it might be the discovery that he was not only a daring seaman, who, despising all timid counsels and dark forebodings, gallantly sailed his little craft into a world of unknown waters, but moreover all the time a saint of Holy Church; and that when he departed this life he was ripe for canonization, and that he even miraculously aids those who commend themselves to his powerful intercession. This is at least a new idea for Englishmen, who have derived in nearly every case all their information about the character and work of the great admiral from the beautiful Life written by Washington Irving. The Protestant mind is impatient of the supernatural. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
