Book Description
Excerpt from Essays and Miscellaneous Writings, Vol. 1 The difficulties of writing the history of any man's life are generally sufficient to make biography a questionable effort. To judge a man is no easy task to those who are his contemporaries. The judgment which is formed by his descendants, and by history, must necessarily be incomplete; and even to reproduce a fair recollection, where the impression left must be subject to many contending influences, seems at the best to be scarcely possible. Facts, and their connection with a man's life, may be recorded with less fear of mistake and prejudice. Their published writings are likely to be the safest records of the minds of most men; certainly these are the medium chosen by themselves, and the utterances which they have most deliberately sanctioned; but to those who have the indescribable image of the real character in their own hearts and memories, even the facts, the published writings and the actions, may fail to give any true idea of the unconscious charm or reality of the individual mind. Reserve, policy, and the immediate object for which men may be striving in their writings and in their actions, to some extent must prevent the accidental betrayal of characteristics which were there, but which are lost to posterity. A few extracts from private correspondence are here invaluable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Selected Essays and Miscellaneous Writings Mr. Sumner, who was commanded by his Majesty to edit and translate the treatise, has acquitted himself Of his task in a manner honourable to his talents and to his character. His version is not, indeed, very easy or elegant but it is entitled to the praise of clearness and fidelity. His notes abound with interesting quotations, and have the rare merit Of really elucidating the text. The preface is evidently the work Of a sensible and candid man, firm in his own religious Opinions, and tolerant towards those Of others.
