Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from American Dialogues of the Dead: And Dialogues of the American Dead In reading the Dialogues of Lucian, of Plato and Cicero among the ancients, and those of Fontenelle, Fenelon, Lyttleton and others among the moderns, the idea was suggested to the author of these Dialogues, that the same vehicle of instruction and amusement might be employed to the advantage of his countrymen. The writers before mentioned had each of them his separate object in view, in resorting to this mode of communication. His object is simply to endeavour to be of some little service to a country that he loves, by inculcating upon his fellow-citizens sound principles in politics, literature, morals and religion. His intention, should he meet with sufficient encouragement from the public, is to continue these Dialogues in a series of numbers, under the heads of the political, literary, moral and religious.
