Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of Edward Vaughan Kenealy, LL. D : With Photogravure Portrait and Sixteen Illustrations Thirty-Four years have passed since the Tichborne Claimant was tried and sentenced, twenty-eight years since Dr Kenealy died. The younger members of this generation learn, with amazement bordering upon incredulity, of the absolute furor of interest, of partisanship, of intense personal feeling which the case excited. The only parallel to be found with it, I think, is that which was aroused in America by the War of the North and the South. For, as during that great crisis, so during the Tichborne Trial personal bias ran so high that parents and children were estranged for ever, life-long friendships made and severed, political factions and commercial and social alliances sealed and sundered - feuds of every magnitude bred and fostered - over the question whether The Claimant was Tichborne and was entitled to the estates, or whether he was a mere vulgar, unscrupulous Impostor. There can be no doubt but that the man´s immense size, by contributing a phenomenal note to the personnel of the Case, magnified the interest attaching to it in the public mind to a dimension which a claimant of normal proportions would have failed to excite.
