Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Sir Martin Archer Shee, Vol. 1 of 2: President of the Royal Academy, P. R. S., D. C. L Within a short period after the death of Sir Martin Archer Shee, I was induced to undertake the task, - which many circumstances combined to impose on me as a duty, - of arranging and preparing for publication some memorials of a career, which, - even if considered merely in reference to the high official station with which it was so long connected, - appeared legitimately to invite a biographical record. The performance of this duty has, however, encountered so many obstacles and delays, from the engrossing occupations of a laborious profession, and other causes, that, as far as the completion of the project is concerned, I have insensibly and unconsciously acted in conformity with the Horatian precept: "Nonumque prematur in annum " - without, I much fear, securing for the work all the benefit of that matured judgment and critical elaboration which the Roman poet had undoubtedly in view, when inculcating the practice of so austere a system of literary self-denial.
