Book by Charles Scribner

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Bnbens. Since Walpole sdays books bave multiplied and historical documents have been discovered, arranged and calendared, in every capital of Europe. In order to write a complete life of Bubens now, it would be necessary to search through an immense mass of documents at the Hague, Brussels, Paris, Simancas, Vienna, and Mantua, besides carefully examining our own records. Neither time nor space would allow of this, if I had had the opportunity in other ways. All I have here attempted has been to give a resume of the facts discovered by others, a very large number of which have not only never appeared in English, but have not even been brought together until now Bubens has suffered from his twofold character and his polyglot acquirements. But few persons are interested alike in his artistic and his diplomatic career. I have wished to give a due weight to each view of his character as far as the limited space at my disposal would allow.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
