Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of George Washington It is well known that Mr. Jared Sparks has for many years been occupied in collecting materials, both in Europe and America, for his Life and Writings of Washington. "I have endeavoured," he observes, in his Preface to the former, "to follow closely the order of time, adopting the plan of a personal narrative, and introducing collateral events no farther than was absolutely necessary to give completeness to the design. After the able, accurate, and comprehensive work of Chief Justice Marshall, it would be presumptuous to attempt an historical biography of Washington. Yet it must be kept in mind that much the larger portion of his life was passed on a conspicuous public theatre, and that no account of it can be written which will not assume essentially the air of history. Anecdotes are interwoven and such incidents of a private and personal nature as are known; but it must be confessed that these are more rare than could be desired.
