Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Account of the Conduct of the Dowager Duchess of Marlborough: From Her First Coming to Court, to the Year 1710 My Lord, I have been often told, that there is a sort of philosophy, by which people have brought themselves to be indifferent, not only whether they be at all remembered after death, but whether in case their names should survive them, they be mentioned with praise or infamy. If this be really a point of wisdom, it is infinitely beyond my reach; and I shall own further, that it seems to me too refined and sublime to be attained by any body, who has not first got rid of the prejudices of common sense and common honesty. I will not pretend to say, that the passion for fame may not sometimes be excessive, and deservedly the subject of ridicule.
