Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memories of Many Men and of Some Women: Being Personal Recollections of Emperors, Kings, Queens, Princes, Presidents, Statesmen, Authors, and Artists, at Home and Abroad, During the Last Thirty Years I make no pretensions to have written any thing in this little book which rises to the dignity of even minor history. I know that it is all liable to be treated with disdainful scorn by the serious and digni¿ed muse Whose recording pen traces the solemn and heroic records of the World´s march through time, and the immortal achievements of the great. And yet it seems to me that the random, hap-hazard recollections of men and things herein set down can hardly fail to entertain and amuse, although they may not instruct the curious reader. If my anecdotes are sometimes trivial, most of them, at least, concern persons famous, some in civil, and some in military life. If their perusal should not add any thing to the real knowledge which you already possess of those to whom they relate, they may, nevertheless, succeed in presenting to you in bolder relief some of the peculiarities which distinguished them. I have made no attempt to be otherwise than desultory. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
