Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Henry Ward Beecher: A Comprehensive and Accurate History of the Great Divine From His Birth to His Grave It may be doubted if there was ever a better illustration of the power of hereditary tendencies than that furnished by Henry Ward Beecher, the son of Lyman and Roxanna Foote Beecher, who was born in Litchfield, Conn., June 24, 1813. The "eccentricities" of Henry Ward Beecher are well known to this generation, because whatever he did or said in any way out of the usual course of affairs was seized upon by reporters and made known to the world by the ever ready press; but in them he was a feeble reproduction of his venerable father, who for more than half a century kept himself and his denomination in hot water by deeds and utterances that were far more sensational and bewildering than any recorded of his son. The press, too, has embalmed the flowers of rhetoric and pictorial eloquence of the Beecher of yesterday, but scores of living witnesses arise to remind us that the elder Beecher was of all men most fervid in illustration, most fertile in graphic delineation, most effective in utterance.
