Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Life of Gilbert Burnet: Bishop of Salisbury, I, Scotland, 1643-1674 The scheme of the following work demands some explanation. It originated with the present writer; whose attention, during some years, had been claimed by the task of editing, for the Clarendon Press, English Historical Society, and Scottish History Society respectively, the memoirs and autobiography of Bishop Burnet, with portions of his correspondence. These researches seemed to justify a new Life of Burnet, which was accordingly outlined. Hope of additional material induced application to Saltoun Manse, Burnet´s early home, for such traditions of his ministry as might linger in the parish. These were courteously supplied; but since it appeared that Mr Clarke had himself in contemplation a similar project, with special reference to Burnet´s Scotch experience, it seemed better to produce one complete, than two imperfect biographies. Actual collaboration being impossible, a division of the subject became imperative. The rough draft already prepared (so far as it related to the initial stages of the Life) was placed at Mr Clarke´s disposal; while Mr Clarke contributed some valuable memoranda to Part II, which are duly acknowledged in locis. Either writer, however, accepts unreserved responsibility for the chapters actually contributed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
