Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of David Grieve Dear Mr. Smith, A few days ago there came into my head the idea of writing you - my friend and publisher - an ´open letter´ which might serve, if you thought well, as a little preface to the sixth and popular edition of ´The History of David Grieve;´ and I was turning the notion over in my mind when I fell upon a passage in M. Renan´s last volume of ´Souvenirs,´ which he has called ´Feuilles Detachees.´ He is describing his relations with the ´Journal des Debats´ and with M. Silvestre de Sacy, the editor of that well-known newspaper when the young ex-seminarist and future author of the ´Vie de Jesus´ first joined its staff. ´I owe to M. de Sacy,´ says M. Renan, ´some of the moral rules that I have always followed. I owe to him in particular the habit of never replying to newspaper attacks even when they contain the greatest enormities. When I submitted to him different cases of possible exceptions, his answer was invariable: "Jamais, jamais, jamais!" I believe that on this point, as on so many others, I have conscientiously followed the counsels of my old master. Du haut du del M. de Sacy sera content de moi.´ ´Jamais!´ It is true that, a little further on, M. Renan, with his usual hatred of the absolute, begins to qualify and ponder a little - falls wondering, after all, whether ´nowadays M. de Sacy would not change his mind.´ But all the same, that ´Jamais!´ of M. de Sacy lingered in my ear, and stood in the way of my own small project. ´No, no!´ I have said to myself; ´M. Renan´s old friend was a thousand times right. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
