Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Isaac T. Hopper: A True Life The Life of Isaac T, Hopper, published in 1852, is a book which has, ever since its appearance in print, held a peculiar place in the literature of the English-speaking world. It is, in the main, a satisfactory and vivid presentation of a unique, if we may not even say, romantic career. In it, the genial, brave old reformer stands boldly out upon the canvas, drawn with so firm a touch as to challenge the interest of one generation after another, and especially to furnish the generous inspiration of a great example to the impressible temperament of the young. The book is now out of print, but the demand for it has not ceased among readers of English, on either side of the water. It has been thought well to bring before the public a new edition of this remarkable story. In doing this, the stereotype plates of the original publication will be used, without attempt to amend those few and mainly unimportant features of the late Mrs. Child´s able portrayal which, it would seem, might be retouched for the better. To the story as told by her will be added a sketch of "Friend Hopper," much prized by his family, which appeared in "The Helping Hand," in the year 1853, from the graceful and discriminating pen of Mrs. Caroline M. Kirkland, of New York. Except for this valued addition, the account of Isaac T. Hopper, as first presented thirty years ago, remains unchanged.
