Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sketches From Life; By the Late Laman Blanchard, Vol. 1 of 3: With a Memoir of the Author Who, among our London brotherhood of letters, does not miss that simple cheerfulness - that inborn and exquisite urbanity - that child-like readiness to be pleased with all - that happy tendency to panegyrise every merit and to be lenient to every fault? Who does not recal that acute and delicate sensibility - so easily wounded, and therefore so careful not to wound - which seemed to infuse a certain intellectual fine breeding, of forbearance and sympathy, into every society where it insinuated its gentle way? Who, in convivial meetings, does not miss, and will not miss for ever, the sweetness of those unpretending talents - the earnestness of that honesty which seemed unconscious, it was worn so lightly - the mild influence of that exuberant kindness, which softened the acrimony of young disputants, and reconciled the secret animosities of jealous rivals? Yet few men had experienced more to sour them than Laman Blanchard, or had gone more resolutely through the authors hardening ordeal, of narrow circumstance, of daily labour, and of that disappointment in the higher aims of ambition, which must almost inevitably befal those who retain ideal standards of excellence, to be reached but by time and leisure, and who are yet condemned to draw hourly upon unmatured resources for the practical wants of life.
