Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters Chiefly Connected With the Affairs of Scotland: From Henry Cockburn, Solicitor-General Under Earl Grey´s Government, Afterwards Lord Cockburn, to Thomas Francis Kennedy, M. P., Afterwards the Right Hon. T. F Kennedy, With Other Letters From Eminent Persons During the Same Period, 1818-1852 It would have been desirable that the Letters of which this volume consists, should have been accompanied by some connecting narrative of the events and affairs of the times to which they relate, but that has been found to be impossible. Such an historical statement, to do it justice, would have required the hand of a master, and it seems better, both on public grounds and in reference to individuals, that such an explanatory and connecting statement, should not be attempted, than that it should be executed by some one incompetent to the task. These letters relate to a very important era in the modern history of Scotland, a great transition period, and may perhaps acquire an increasing interest as time advances. It has appeared desirable that these letters should not be lost to the public - especially of Scotland - and that they should be seen before all those are gone, who, when young, can remember the time and the individuals concerned. The letters are genuine documents of the dates they bear. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
