Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Random Shots and Southern Breezes, Containing Critical Remarks on the Southern States, and Southern Institutions, Vol. 1 of 2: With Semi-Serious Observations on Men and Manners It is hardly necessary to remark, that I alone am responsible for every opinion or sentiment that I may have thought proper to express in the course of my strictures on the social condition of different sections of country. In one or two instances my publishers have endeavoured to persuade me to adopt certain modifications suggested by themselves, but, with, all due deference to their judgment and experience, I have deemed it expedient to retain the original spirit of my remarks. If the evils I complain of in my parallel between the social system of the South and that of the North really exist, no term of denunciation can be too bitter, no shaft of ridicule too keenly pointed, for their exposure; if, on the contrary, circumstances, or obliquity of observation, have betrayed me into mistakes, it would be a great stretch of human perversity to hold the publisher accountable for an author´s critical transgressions. If I have written without fear, I have also written with candour. No private grievance nor acerbity of feeling could ever have induced me to make statements which I did not believe to be strictly correct. If I know myself well, I think I have an eye and a heart for goodness and beauty wherever I can find them. Upon this principle, it will frequently be found, that where I have spoken disparagingly of men known to be my personal friends, I have not hesitated to exalt and bepraise individuals whom I knew to be my bitterest enemies. The appearance of talent and of virtue has invariably been greeted by me with enthusiastic recognition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
