Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Book of Memories of Great Men and Women of the Age: From Personal Acquaintance My opportunities of personal intimacy with the distinguished men and women of my time have been frequent and peculiar. There are few by whom the present century has been made famous with whom I have not been acquainted - either as the editor of works to which they were contributors, as associates in general society, or in the more familiar intercourse of private life. It will be obvious that there are not many to whom the task I undertake is possible. To have been personally acquainted with a large proportion of those who head the epoch, infers a youth long past, yet passed under circumstances such as could have been enjoyed by few. Some of whom I write had "put on immortality" before the greater number of my readers were born: one generation has passed away, and another has attained its prime, since the period to which I take them back; for I write only of the Departed - only of those who, bequeathing to us the rich fruitage of their lives, - "Leaving us heirs to amplest heritages Of all the best thoughts of the greatest sages," - teach from their tombs, for ever and for ever, Peoples, Nations, and Ages - the hundreds of millions who speak the Anglo-Saxon tongue.
