Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Private Journal of Judge-Advocate Larpent: Attached to the Head-Quarters of Lord Wellington During the Peninsular War, From 1812 to Its Close It has been very gratifying to me to witness the flattering manner in which this Journal has been received by the Public, and, with one exception, by the several writers who have noticed it. As my own part in the Work is so small, the risk I ran in publishing it was small in proportion; but I confess that I did feel anxious not to damage the fair fame of my late brother. The exception to which I allude is that of the Reviewer in the "Athenæum," a paper which (having been a subscriber to it for many years) I hold in high estimation. The writer must pardon me for observing (whilst fully admitting his right to state his conscientious opinion of the work itself), that the sneers at Mr. Larpent´s having been Fifth Wrangler, and at his slow progress at the Bar, are strangely misplaced. Surely a person attached to literature cannot seriously deprecate academic honours, or deny their primâ facie evidence of ability.
