Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Last Sixty-Five Years, Vol. 1 of 2: Commencing With the Battle of Lexington; Also, Sketches of His Own Life and Times In my youth I read a great deal, and had read many works without ever having read a preface, until I was going to read Montesquieu, when, as luck would have it, I happened to open at the preface, and my eye lit upon the passage, where he quotes the exclamation of Corregio, on viewing a painting, the production of one of his great predecessors, "and I also am a painter." From that time, I never read a book without having first read the preface, which, I at once discovered, was necessary to a correct understanding of the author. The following work consists solely of my personal recollections, except in a very few instances, the sources of which are distinctly pointed out, where they occur.
