Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Hellenics of Walter Savage Landor: Comprising Heroic Idyls, &C My Dear General, I do not ask permission to dedicate this volume to you: I did not entreat the same liberty of Kossuth. You are the two men I venerate the most among the living. The prime glory of my life is your friendship. This hfe of mine is drawing to a close, and friendship must end with it. Your incurable and tormenting wounds, endured for half a century, leave to you a date not much longer. But your writings will endure when mine have perished, and you will be remembered as the most impartial as well as the most animated of Englands Historians. No family on earth, modern or ancient, has produced so great a number of illustrious men, in literature, science, and war, as the family of Napier; none in all its branches so ill requited. One of it could have saved India; another can only adorn England. An illustrious man ordered it to be inscribed on his monument, that he was the friend of Sir Philip Sidney; an obscurer one can but leave this brief memorial that he was the friend of Sir William Napier.
