Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some Account of the Life of the Late Gilbert Earle, Esq. The world always expects some apology for auto-biography; - and yet the expectation is as much a conventional matter, as the understanding between the hero of his own tale in a stage-coach, and his listeners. If the subject of the narrative disclose any leading movement of the great machine of the heart, and if the influence of that movement on "human dealings" be traced with any thing like "a learned spirit," the distaste for egotism vanishes in an instant, and we permit a man to talk of himself, as of some science, or art, with which he is deeply familiar. This, after all, is the test to which such narrations must be subjected; - the only value which they possess is their truth.
