Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Pictorial Life of Benjamin Franklin The definition of history - "philosophy teaching by example," is much more correctly applied to the history of a life, of biography, than to a general narrative, in which events are necessarily more the objects of description than character. And youth, who seem guided in their pursuit of reading by a sort of instinct, which directs them to that by which they receive the most distinct ideas and vivid impressions, universally prefer biography. They not only like to hear how the great and wise thought and acted, in connection with public events, but to understand something of the private life and personal history of those who fill a large place in the annals of the world.
