Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Unrequited Loyalty: The Life of Edward Somerset, Earl of Glamorgan, Marquess of Worcester "Greater Love hath no Man than this, that a Man lay down his Life for his friends," but it is given to few to raise their record so high as the surrender of life, and there are sacrifices as noble as death in a beloved cause, as noble and perchance more painful. To stand accused of forgery by your enemies, and of presumptuous meddling by your friends; to lose both home and fortune, and to bear all this silently and without reproach, is a sacrifice very perfect and wonderful in its noble generosity and brave fidelity. I have endeavoured to set forth this life of Edward Somerset, first Earl of Glamorgan, second Marquess of Worcester, in a spirit answering unto his great loyalty. Though it has been impossible to avoid presenting the actions of His Majesty King Charles I. of blessed memory, in a light otherwise than unfavourable, still I have desired to utter no harsh or disloyal expressions in reference to a King, so truly venerated and loved, by the hero of this Memoir. It remains for me to crave the indulgence of my readers, in that I have but faithfully portrayed Glamorgan, and have avoided forming any exaggerated or romantic notions of his merits and transactions, leaving the story of his noble life untouched by any word of praise or admiration. It is needless to say that I do but write of facts carefully verified, and of such things as I have warrant for under extant documents.
