Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Oliver Goldsmith, M. B He was Goldsmith´s intimate friend, a companion in many of his literary pursuits, and his enthusiastic admirer! What such a writer says, as far as relates to facts, must be listened to with more pleasure than a mere work of fiction, however elaborate, or splendidly set off. It gives me pleasure to acknowledge the obligations I lie under to this ingenious and excellent companion, for many particulars relative to Dr. Goldsmith. I shall give his account entire, marked with double commas. "Oliver Goldsmith was born at Roscommon, in Ireland, in the year 1731. His father, who possessed a small estate in that county, had nine sons, of which Oliver was the third. He was originally intended for the church; and with that view, after being well instructed in the classics, was, with his brother the Rev. Henry Goldsmith, placed in Trinity college, Dublin, about the latter end of the year 1749. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
