Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Historical and Geographical Memoir of the North-American Content: Its Nations and Tribes "We have but collected this Volume, and done an office to the dead, to procure his orphans, guardians, without ambition, either of self-profit, or fame, only to keep the memory of so worthy a friend and fellow, alive. "Heminge And Condell." Doctor Johnson complains, that even Goldsmith´s life of Parnel, is dull and unentertaining, as the writer had no proper knowledge ("had not eaten and drunk with him") of his subject. He knew the man, whose character he described, by report only. He was not acquainted with the exact features of his mind, the peculiarities of his manners, their shape and colour. The remark is acute and just: but not sufficiently extended - no variety of incident, no dramatic cast of character can be thrown into the biography of a secluded and sedentary scholar, which may render the narrative lively and entertaining.
