Présentation de l'éditeur
From the Edinburgh Review, July, 1855.) AM emoir of the Reverend Sydney Siuith. By his Daughter, Lady Holland. With Selections from his Letters. Edited by Mrs. A ustin. In 2vols. London :1855. The publication of this book affords us the opportunity for which we have been anxiously watching, which we must erelong have found or made for ourselves, had it not presented itself. We should be guilty of an unpardonable neglect of duty were we to allow Sydney Smith to be permanently placed amongst the illustrious band of English worthies in the Temple of Fame, at the risk of seeing too low a pedestal assigned to him, without urging on the attention of contemporaries, and recording for the instruction of posterity, his claims to rank as a great public benefactor, as well as his admitted superiority in what we must make bold to call his incidental and subordinate character of wit.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an investigation into the authenticity of famous historical sayings and anecdotes and explores the phenomenon of commonalities between them. The author examines the trustworthiness of historical accounts and shows how many have misled both scholars and the general public through embellishment, fabrication, and the fallibilities of oral history. Yet, the book simultaneously celebrates the power of memorable quotations and the universal themes they represent. By comparing and contrasting anecdotes and quotations attributed to historical figures across epochs and cultures, the author reveals how universally human qualities like bravery, compassion, selflessness, and wit tend to produce similar turns of phrase and action. The book reminds its readers that although historical narratives may not always be true, they often reveal essential truths about ourselves. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332811861_0
