Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Willbur Fisk, D. D: First President of the Wesleyan University The biographer of Dr. Fisk submits the result of his labour to the judgment of the Christian public with unfeigned diffidence. This feeling is occasioned partly by a natural distrust of his own abilities, and partly by his experience of the difficulties of the undertaking. Those who are at all skilled in authorship well know that historical and biographical composition is peculiarly perplexing and laborious; and it will be obvious to all, on very slight reflection, that the labour of writing a biography depends very much on the diversity in the character and relations of the subject, for in proportion to these will be the demand on the authors resources, judgment, and skill. Had Dr. Fisk´s life been devoted entirely, or even chiefly, to one pursuit, had his character possessed interest in only a single aspect, or were his biography to have been adapted to any selected class of readers, the writers task would have been comparatively easy. But the life of any man should be in accordance with his entire character and pursuits. In this lay the difficulty of our present undertaking.
