Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Sir Anthony Panizzi, K. C. B , Vol. 1 of 2: Late Principal Librarian of the British Museum, Senator of Italy &C., &C The first chapter of these Volumes discloses the reasons which induced me to undertake the present Biography - a task amounting to a labour of love, owing to the personal interest I have felt in it from beginning to end. How far, however, I may succeed in satisfying my Readers - fully conscious as I am of my own demerits and the many defects to be met with - I leave them to decide, trusting to their kind indulgence not to be hypercritical in their verdict on my faithful endeavour to perform my duty both to them and to the subject of these memoirs. Some delay has arisen in the completion of the work, to be attributed to three causes: the interruption occasioned by my official duties, the variety and complicated nature of the subject, and the numerous translations required for the full development of the life I desired to treat with justice in every respect. Grateful acknowledgments are due for the valuable assistance received from Mr. Charles Cannon of the Foreign Office.
