Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

In the composition of a Biography of Lord Bolingbroke for the American publishers, the meagre outlines sketched by Goldsmith, in the Life which was prefixed to Mallet s Edition, have been filled up with materials derived from various sources, some of which were, at the time, inaccessible to, and others were not made use of by, this ever pleasing but commonly indolent writer. Of these, the chief are two articles in the Edinburgh Review the last of which is generally attributed to Lord Brougham; and one in the Quarterly which contains extracts from the Marchmont Papers; and, also, the Memoirs of Lord Bolingbrokey by Mr. Cooke. Occasional use has been made of a small volume entitled Memoirs of the Life and Ministerial Conductj fycy of Lord Bolingbroke; and of the article St. John in the Biographia Britannic Oyfrom the latter of which Goldsmith chiefly drew both the details and reflections for his sketch. Accuracy and impartiality have been studied in the following Biography, more than elegance and that labored eulogy, which so often defeats its purpose. The quick genius and diversified attainments of the author and the statesman, have not been allowed to cast a glare over the vices of the man and the specious ho Uowness of the pretended philosopher. The Life of Bolingbroke ought to be regarded, and in this light it is exhibited on the present occasion, as a warning but not an example; as a lurid meteor rather than a guiding star.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides captivating insights into the life and career of Henry St. John, Viscount Bolingbroke, who played a significant role in British politics as a statesman, philosopher, and writer during the early 18th century. An integral figure in the Tory party, Bolingbroke's unwavering support for Queen Anne and his skillful negotiation of the Treaty of Utrecht earned him both admiration and criticism. However, his alleged involvement in the Jacobite movement and his subsequent flight to France cast a shadow over his legacy. The author explores the complexities and contradictions of Bolingbroke's character, examining his political strategies, literary pursuits, and philosophical beliefs. Through a meticulous analysis of historical documents and contemporary accounts, this book offers a comprehensive understanding of Bolingbroke's impact on British history and his enduring contributions to political thought. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
