Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Character of Erasmus When the author, of this volume - whose public services in the diocese of Lincoln are entitled to grateful recognition - requested me to write a short Preface to it I was unwilling, though with little leisure at command, to decline the invitation, from regard to the subject, and to the writer. Erasmus was one of the principal instruments employed by divine Providence, for conferring great benefits, intellectual, moral, and spiritual, on human society; and the study of his life inspires feelings of thankfulness, while it supplies lessons of instruction, which are especially seasonable at the present time. The capture of Constantinople by the Turks, and the dissolution of the Eastern Empire, were calamities which Europe regarded with dismay. But the evil was overruled for good.
