Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Correspondence of Major-General Sir John Malcolm, G. C. B, Vol. 1 of 2: Late Envoy to Persia, and Governor of Bombay; From Unpublished Letters and Journals As I believe it will be more generally asked why the Life of Sir John Malcolm was not written before, than why it now makes its appearance, I think it is well to state, that in any years ago the late Captain Hamilton, the accomplished author of "Cyril Thornton," undertook to perform the task, which has since devolved upon me; but death arrested his labors. He had proceeded but a little way with his work, when he was thus prematurely lost to the world. Some of the earlier papers had been placed in his hands; he had marked a few passages in the correspondence, and he had written, with little result, some letters of inquiry to the few surviving friends of Malcolm´s boyhood; but I have not been able to learn that he ever wrote a line of the Memoir.
