Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of James Hamilton "A trap to catch a sunbeam," - the playful title of a fiction, strangely presents itself here as the fittest phrase to express the aim, sober, grave, and tender, of this real and recent history. Great and good lives, - lives that are at once manly and godly, where the affections that spring from the earth are imbued with the holiness that distils from heaven, - are like rays of sunlight which gladden the world while they shine, but leave it dark and chilly when they depart. O for an art in the moral sphere, equivalent to that of the photographer in the material, whereby we might seize, and fix, and perpetuate those rarer rays which stream through the mass of human history like veins of felspar in a quarry! This is the specific task assigned to the biographer. Feeble and faint at best must be the image of a life transferred to a printed page, in comparison with that life itself, as it was felt by friends while it lasted, and is remembered still; but, if the original were indeed a sunbeam sent from heaven to cheer a portion of this dull earth, a copy, to some extent true and suggestive, may be taken and kept.
