Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Sir William Wallace, the Governor General of Scotland: And Hero of the Scottish Chiefs It appears no easy undertaking Caledonians, to write the history and do justice to the character of the most illustrious General, consumate Statesman and courageous Warrior, that ever graced the pages of history, the invincible Hero of Scotland, Sir William Wallace, the subject of the subsequent Memoir. To give a just history of the life, adventures and heroic actions of that unparalleled Hero of Caledonia, who was equally qualified, by extraordinary natural endowments and martial acquirements, to excel in the administrations of the Cabinet and Tactics of the field, would require a character in letters equal to that of his hero in peace and in war, in the Court and in the field, no ordinary pen can do justice to the name of such a chieftain; no common intellect can value his merits; no ignoble soul can estimate the worth of such a conqueror; let the annals of Caledonia display his glories; let the pages of her histories speak forth his virtues; let her biographies depict the renowned character of their Hero: and let his magnanimous deeds be engraved on the memories of all her true-hearted patriots, as long as the sun shall endure. In whatever light we view that illustrious warrior, emotions of love and glory will rise in our hearts, and will irresistibly lead us to behold him as an example worthy of imitation, and a subject of admiration either as a Christian or a Hero. This is the great reason I have for writing a history of the Chieftain, it being well known that example has a more powerful influence on the human mind than precept, as it predisposes to design, stimulates to action, and directs how to proceed with success, in the paths of virtue and glory.
