Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sunlight and Shadow: Or Gleanings From My Life Work; Comprising Personal Experience and Opinions, Anecdotes, Incidents, and Reminiscences; Gathered From Thirty-Seven Years´ Experience on the Platform and Among the People; At Home and Abroad In the preface to a work entitled "The Odious, Despicable, and Dreadful Condition of a Drunkard," by Junius Florilegus, published in London in 1649, the writer - not dreaming that an American would borrow it two hundred and thirty years after - says: "Experience teaches that no one thing (be it the violet) will please every one. That nothing is more easier than to find a colour of exceptions. That men´s censures are as various as their palates. That some are as deeply in love with vice as others with virtue. That crossed wickedness proves desperate, and instead of yielding seeks for revenge of its own sins upon others´ uprightness. Shall I then make myself the subject of every opinion, wise and weak? Yes, I had rather hazard the censure of some than hinder the good of others. Again, if I do ill, no plea can warrant me; I cannot be discouraged with any censures; my desire is to satisfy all honest minds.
