Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of John M. Mason, D. S. T P We are deceived, if, upon the nearer view here given, many readers do not find some traits of character which they may not have seen at a distance, and which will not diminish either their admiration or esteem. Very conscious that the portrait has not received all those fine and finishing touches of which it is susceptible, and that it has not been hung in the best frame, or in the best light; we yet feel quite contented, if we have enabled practised eyes properly to distinguish between the excellence of the original and the imperfect production of the artist. As might be expected, Dr. Mason´s correspondence generally sprung out of passing events, or out of the feelings awakened by such events; and was often interwoven with public transactions in which he himself took a part. There could be but little hesitation, therefore, in adopting the chronological order of arrangement. A portion of it might have admitted, or even demanded, a different course; but the above consideration was thought of sufficient weight to control the whole. It is also proper to state, that some of the letters have been abridged, and that the signature has often been omitted. Many anecdotes which are afloat in the community, we have not felt warranted to insert. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
