Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Gaspard De Coligny (Marquis De Chatillon): Admiral of France; Colonel of French Infantry; Governor of Picardy, Ile De France, Paris, and Havre In sending forth the Second Edition of this Life of Coligny, the first of the Series which we have ventured to call the "New Plutarch," I am anxious to express my grateful sense of its reception by the press and the reading public both here and in America, and my hope that the Admiral may become, among a still wider circle of readers, a great exemplar of the highest life attainable - that in which a man accepts cheerfully the weight of his own responsibility, refuses to follow vain tradition and pretended authority, and acts according to his convictions and conscience. And for my own part, I do not know anywhere in history, unless it be that of Abraham Lincoln, a grander illustration of such a life than this wise, far-seeing, long-suffering statesman. Some of my critics have objected to the space devoted, in so small a volume, to the colonsiation projects. I am, on the whole, inclined to think that, considering how noble a conception they illustrate, the amount of space is not out of proportion to their importance.
