Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Memoir of the Rev. John Lingard, D. D It has been frequently, and not unnaturally, remarked, that the history of an author´s life is little more than history of his works. Withdrawn from the world, and communing with his own mind in the retirement of his study, he neither shares in the excitement, nor mingles in the throng, of passing events. The field of action is not his sphere: the labours of ambition are not his delight. He has neither deep intrigue, nor brilliant exploit, nor daring adventure, to offer to the admiration of the world. His life flows on, a calm, quiet, gentle stream, unmarked, save by the murmur of its waters and the freshness that appears upon its banks. The subject of the present memoir is not an exception to the general rule. Though living during a period of more than ordinary religious and political excitement, he took no ostensible part in the turmoil and contention that surrounded him: though consulted on every matter of importance in the Church of which he was so distinguished a member, his name was seldom heard in connection with the events of the day. Neither honours nor employments could withdraw him from the retirement of his study; nor could the offer of the highest dignities induce him to abandon the seclusion to which he had devoted his life.
