Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Sir Walter Raleigh, Vol. 1 of 2: 1552 1618 It may possibly be expected that I should state my reasons for undertaking a new biography of Sir Walter Raleigh, of whom more lives have perhaps been written than of any other Englishman. Besides that it seems needful for nations to review from time to time the achievements and characters of their great men, that they may be made to appear in the light in which they ought to be regarded in a civilized age, many other motives concur in the case of Raleigh for entering now into a critical examination of his career. It is no reproach to former biographers to maintain that they could by no possibility have written a complete life of Raleigh, because the materials for such a work were wanting. This will be evident to all who compare the following indication of what is new in the present volume with former biographies: - 1. I have proved by new documents that Raleigh made a voyage to the West Indies sixteen years before he is supposed to have visited that part of the world.
