Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of Edward, Earl of Clarendon, Lord High Chancellor of England, Vol. 1 I claim for Clarendon that he should be judged, not according to the political ideas of a later day, but according to the notions, the traditions, and, if you will, the prejudices, of his own time. No statesman of any age but will, in time, come to need such allowance. I am aware that, by some, the biographical aspects of history may be esteemed as but a subsidiary matter, falling beneath the dignity of its more severe domain, and of its larger theories, and foreign to what, in modern jargon, is styled the Science of history. But in the general, and not unsound, judgment of mankind, those aspects can never lose their permanent interest. Above all is that paramount in the case of Clarendon, whose predilection lay, and whose genius was most conspicuously shown, in that sphere.

How far is it permissible to stray from the narrow pathway we have chosen, and expatiate upon aspects of the time, which do not fall within the personal experience of him whose life we attempt to pourtray? If we restrict ourselves too much, we move blindfold along an obscure track; if we range too freely, we lose the identity of the single stream we seek to follow amidst a multitude of devious channels. In writing Biography above all, in writing the Biography - of one who has played a large part in the leading transactions of his time - we must build up for ourselves a structure of general history; and, having done so, we must then knock ruthlessly away, like temporary scaffolding, all that is not essential to the personal figure which we attempt to present. I do not propose to re-write the history of the Civil War and its sequel. I wish only to depict the character, tot appreciate the motives, and to investigate the action of one 5 who was a foremost actor in the great struggle, and who left the abiding impress of his hand in shaping its consequences; and to claim for him the honour which he deserves as one of England's great statesmen.

- s***s (17)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSeller was fine, arrived promptly with good packaging and in perfect condition. But I should have asked questions about the book. It is really just a recreation of a collection of pages from old catalogues. I was hoping for more information & history of some of the Chickering models. This was not worth $18 to me. Would have been helpful if the seller had given examples of some pages.
