Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoir of John H. Alexander, LL. D No one could feel more painfully than I do the embarrassment of the position, which I am called, by your too indulgent kindness, to occupy to-night; or more sincerely regret, that the duty had not devolved upon another, better qualified, by habits of thought and literary tastes and pursuits, to discharge it in a manner worthy of your deceased comrade and yourselves. He was my friend, and for full forty years no shadow ever rested on the stream of our friendship. Not so much as a transient cloud crossed the horizon that bounded it. Fresh as the first dewy breath of the morning, that broke on its birth, was its peaceful close. You know how difficult it is for friendship to rise above the weaknesses of our nature, and wield a pen with the strict and stern impartiality that historic truth demands. To delineate any character, that is at all worthy of delineation, is difficult - so difficult, that but few, who have added to the treasures of Literature in other respects, have succeeded in this, one of its most attractive and important departments. Hundreds can paint battles, draw the picturesque in nature, and color them exquisitely, while but few can give you discriminating and faithful portraitures of the men, who were the controlling genius of the scenes described.
