Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life and Times of Sir Walter Ralegh In submitting to the Public a Life of Sir Walter Ralegh, some brief explanation may be deemed expedient, of the reasons which induced the Author to consider such a work necessary, when the valuable labors of Oldys, Cayley, and Birch, are still in existence. Independent of the circumstances, that the efforts of these justly-prized biographers have been far too greatly actuated by an indiscriminate partiality for the character of Ralegh, it may be alleged, that the narratives of the two first of these authors are encumbered with authentic, but heavy documents and dissertations, interspersed within the body of their respective works, rendering them fatiguing; and, in the case of Oldys, almost revolting to the general reader. The concise compilation of Birch, admirable as far as it goes, is, on the other hand, too limited and cursory a sketch of the life and actions of Ralegh, to afford that satisfactory picture of his mind, and disposition, which biography is intended to furnish. Endeavoring to steer between these extremes, the Author of the Memoirs, now presented to the Public, entertains a well-grounded hope, that if her attempt to compose a full, and yet connected, narrative of Ralegh´s life be considered inefficient, the additional documents which she has been enabled to supply will redeem it from being wholly useless.
