Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sketch of the Life and Times of the Rev. Sydney Smith The chief sources from which this book has been drawn are indicated on its title-page, though, in a lesser degree, information has also been derived from a number of other channels. To the relatives of Sydney Smith, and particularly to his granddaughter, Miss Holland, I feel greatly indebted, alike for the confidence with which they have honoured me, and for their generosity in placing, without restriction, documents of the most valuable nature at my disposal. This attempt, indeed, to set the many-sided character of Sydney Smith in a somewhat different light from that in which it has hitherto been commonly regarded could never have been made but for the manuscripts, letters, and reminiscences which were thus rendered accessible. At the same time, it is only right to add that I am entirely responsible for the selection of letters and papers contained in these pages, as well as for the interpretation placed upon them; and the same remark, of course, applies to the inferences which are drawn from every incident recorded in the book.
