Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Character Studies: With Some Personal Recollections If, with Thackeray, we believe that "memory is part of our souls, and is eternal," then its bright visions may be said to form an essential element of life´s best estate, and also to compensate, in some measure, for its gloomy seasons of sorrow and of sadness. The object of the following pages is to record some pleasant recollections of a privileged friendship or acquaintanceship with certain distinguished personages who have since passed beyond the horizon of time. Worthies, alas! now passed away, Whose presence charmed life´s earlier day, Whose wisdom, culture, courtesy, Memory enshrines as legacy. These memorial sketches do not pretend to complete portraiture; they are rather quiet studies of characters, eminent alike for their intellectual culture and moral excellence.
