Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoir of the Rev. William Staughton, D. D The usefulness of biography does not remain to be tested. The pleasure afforded by a knowledge of the incidents that have occurred in the life of a distinguished individual, the satisfaction imparted to the circle of friendship while retracing the features of the honored dead, and the influence which is shed over the community by such exhibitions, are advocates whose appeal is irresistible. Biography teaches by example, and example is, in many respects, infinitely superior to precept. It is a pleasant mode of imparting instruction, and rectifying the obliquities of the heart. It may be contemplated as a mirror, in which the beholder has a view of his own defects, and by which he may be assisted to judge of the measure of his improvement. It gives less offence by the secrecy of its corrections than any other method, and may be considered more animating in its influence. That which has been accomplished, may be accomplished.
