Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Anecdote Lives of William Pitt, Earl of Chatham, and Edmund Burke Few persons will be disposed to gainsay the fitness of the every-day remark upon the rapid multiplication of Books beyond that at any previous period of their history. To keep pace with this extraordinary increase of Books and Readers, selection and condensation are more essential than ever for such as seek to husband that most valuable of all economics - the economy of time. The preparation of the present volume is an attempt made in this direction - in that attractive and valuable branch of "life writing," in which history and biography are alike combined. Coleridge has remarked that "the most effectual mode of attaining the chief objects of historical knowledge will be to present History in the form of Biography chronologically arranged." This has been attempted in the following pages; the Author having selected the lives of two of the most distinguished men of modern times, "who are themselves great landmarks in the map of human nature." Their actions and fortunes have prominently contributed to the greatness of the country, and are characteristically English; and their lives exhibit the popular attractions if not the most important lessons of history.
