Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Memoir or Defence of Hugh Peters It is well known, that the view taken of men and things, accords with the medium, through which they are observed. If such medium be clear and correct, it will, of course, give a right impression. If riot, the reverse holds true. This accounts for the diversity of opinions entertained of the person, who heads this article. No doubt, as subject to the elements of imperfection, he had, like all his race, faults to correct and omissions of obligation to deplore. But, looking at him as he really was, or supposed to be, some have esteemed him talented, learned, honest, benevolent, and magnanimous, - a benefactor of his fellow-beings and a true servant of God, - while others have denied him these excellencies of character. Among the former class we profess ourselves to be numbered. This is a principal inducement to the preparation of the subsequent notice. The parentage of Peters (1) was highly respectable. His father, son of Sir John, (2) was an eminent merchant of Fowey (3) in Cornwall, whose ancestors, as advocates of the Reformation, were compelled to flee thither from the city of Antwerp. His mother, Elizabeth, was of an ancient and honourable family, whose name was Trefley of Place in the Town of his birth. Though while referring to this subject, he regarded such descent as desireable, yet he appreciated personal merit as of far greater worth. The birth of Peters was in 1599. By the time he was prepared to enter college, adversity crossed the prosperous enterprise of his father. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
