Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Pursuit of Knowledge Under Difficulties This book was originally published, in 1830, under the superintendence of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge; and it was reproduced in another form, under my own care, in 1845. The revision which it underwent on that occasion, however, extended only to such statements as were affected by the lapse of time. Appearing now with the name of the writer, it is restored throughout more nearly to the state in which it first left my hands; and I have also taken the opportunity of introducing a few additional notices of eminent individuals, some of them still living, who have distinguished themselves by one form or another of what may be called the Pursuit of Knowledge under Difficulties. Of that happy title, however, which has had the fortune to become a sort of proverbial phrase, or "household word," and to which the book, no doubt, owes much of whatever success it has had, I ought to say that I cannot claim the credit; it belongs, I have always understood, to Lord Brougham, who, finding time for everything, honoured the little work by going over the proof-sheets, at least of the first volume, and some other touches of whose expressive pen, it may interest the reader to know, are elsewhere to be found in it; although I would not have his Lordship, or any one but myself, to be held responsible for either its statements as to matters of fact, or any indications of opinion on controverted questions; of which last, however, there are really none, I believe, that can give pain or offence to anybody.
