Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life and Memoirs of John Churton Collins In this simple account of my father´s life and work, I have endeavoured to set forth a concise rather than a detailed narrative, letting his own memoirs, as far as possible, tell the story. In one respect his life was a tragedy - the uphill task of the man who is ever ready to speak out and to face the consequences. He lost sight of all his own interests when he was on the war-path, and did not spare his pen in attacking the very foundations of learning - the venerable institutions of Oxford and Cambridge, which he loved so much, but in which he found something wanting. Having at first no recognized position, he worked on year after year with enthusiasm, yet ever haunted with the thought of his work possibly falling off altogether, or his health breaking down and thus imperilling his very means of existence.
