Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Lives of Twelve Good Men, Vol. 1 of 2: Martin Joseph Routh, Hugh James Rose, Charles Marriott, Edward Hawkins, Samuel Wilberforce, Richard Lynch Cotton, Richard Greswell, Henry Octavius Coxe, Henry Longueville Mansel, William Jacobson, Charles Page Eden, Charles Longuet Higgins My dearest Livingstone, Let me enjoy the satisfaction of inscribing these volumes to yourself. I wish that they may prove an enduring memorial of our friendship, and especially of the happy days when we were associated at S. Mary´s. Not only because you have afforded me important assistance in the production of these ´Lives´ - but also because most of the ´Good Men´ here commemorated were friends of your own; and because, ever since you were elected to a Scholarship at Oriel in 1856, you have resided continuously in the scenes chiefly referred to in these pages; - you seem to have acquired a kind of right to have your name connected with a book, which, more than any other I have written, has carried me back at every instant to Oxford and to you. But these volumes may not go forth to the world without carrying on their front the brief explanatory statement which I proceed to offer. I wish it to be understood that the names, and the number, of the Friends who are the subject of the ensuing pages, are, to some extent fortuitous. It has not been, I mean, the result of deliberate plan that the names amount to just ´Twelve´: nor indeed has it been with premeditation that the book has grown up at all. Let me be allowed briefly to relate what has happened. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
