Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoir of John Aikin, M. D: With a Selection of His Miscellaneous Piece; Biographical, Moral and Critical A few words will suffice to explain to the reader the object of the present publication, and the plan on which it has been conducted. To make known to the world as a man one with whom it had so long been acquainted as an author, appeared to the editor both a due tribute to the talents and virtues of her father, and a proper indulgence of a species of curiosity not less reasonable than it is natural. The generally even tenor of Dr. Aikin´s life, and the retirement from active pursuits in which the latter years of it were passed, seemed to her no sufficient objections to making it the theme of a detailed narration; - for, besides that a man of merit, in any class, and under any circumstances, may be accounted a worthy object of contemplation to his fellow men, - it is well known that some of the most instructive and acceptable pieces of biography have been such as derived their interest from the unfoldings of character and sentiment, rather than the bustle of incident, or the splendour of description.
