Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs and Correspondence of George, Lord Lyttelton, Vol. 1 of 2: From 1734 to 1773 When the Manuscripts, preserved at Hagley, were entrusted to me for publication, one of two modes seemed open for my adoption - to print the letters in the order of their dates, or to interweave them into a biographical sketch of Lord Lyttelton, to whose correspondence, with the exception of those set forth in the introductory chapter, they exclusively belong. I trust that I have not erred in preferring the latter, which is of course infinitely the most laborious, to the former method; it seemed to me to combine the advantages of being the most satisfactory to the Lyttelton family, and the most attractive to the general reader, because it presents to him each letter, if I may use the expression, set, however inartificially, in the history of the time to which it refers. We learn from Lord Bacon, that "History, which may be called Just and Perfect History, is of three kinds, according to the object which it propoundeth, or pretendeth to represent: for it either representeth a time, or a person, or an action.
