Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorials of the Life of George Elwes Corrie, D.D: Master of Jesus College, Cambridge; Rector of Newton in the Isle; Sometime Norrisian Professor in the University of Cambridge, Drawn Principally From His Diary and Correspondence A human life is than a series of events, and the true record of such life is not mere narrative of incidents with which its subject is more or less closely associated. A biography then only deserves the name, when it is the faithful delineation of a character, the the portraiture in words of a distinct personality. For such a record the materials must be supplied partly by the utterances, written and spoken, of the individual whose life is described, partly by the observation and reminiscences of others. The following pages lay no claim to the title of a complete biography. They consist of such memorials as could be obtained from the sources above indicated, and they are presented to the reader without any artificial arrangement, or any attempt to render them attractive by those literary embellishments which make a book more pleasing at the expense of fidelity, and exhibit a skilful picture instead of a truthful portrait. The work has been undertaken in compliance with a desire expressed by many who knew Dr Corrie in his later years, that the memory of one who had so long occupied an important and influential position in his own University, and had gained the affection and veneration of a large circle both in Cambridge and elsewhere, should not be suffered to pass into oblivion.
