Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Memoir of William a Stanton, S. J When we take up a work of biography to read, we find, ordinarily, that it is the story of a man whose name at least we have known before. The title page is vaguely reminiscent. The mans name brings up sketchy memories. He figured largely in such and such a war; he wrote such and such books; he was a statesman of such and such a period of history, or a poet, or a notable rascal, or the brewer of a noble beer, or a successful usurer who held a high place in the councils of government; possibly (and most vaguely of all to us) he was a saint. But he comes before us in the book with some credentials of history, with a letter of introduction which he himself wrote upon the fading tablets of time. We set ourselves to read with a sense of being about to enlarge upon an acquaintance we have already made. We are keeping the convention of polite society in not venturing beyond the circle of the properly introduced.
