Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Lives of Northern Worthies, Vol. 3 of 3 Hitherto we have spoken of men whose lives were history, - flowers, or medicinal plants (for as yet we have encountered no weeds), preserved in a Hortutsiccus, to which we have done our best to restore the lively hue and appropriate aroma. We have now a more delicate task to perform. We speak of a man whose death is a recent sorrow; whose image lives in eyes that have wept for him. The caution and reserve which honour and duty exact from the biographer of a living contemporary, are more especially required of him who essays to collect the scattered lineaments of one who no longer lives to confute or approve the portrait, which yet may give pain or pleasure to many, who compare the likeness with their own authentic memory. I never saw Roscoe. I have heard much of him, both from the many who delighted in his praise, and from some who reluctantly assented to it. Unseen, yet not quite unknown of me, he performed his earthly pilgrimage, and went to his reward. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
