Sketches of the Life, Character and Times of Paul Jones (Classic Reprint)

Sketches of the Life, Character and Times of Paul Jones (Classic Reprint)

Thomas Chase
0/5 ( ratings)
Excerpt from Sketches of the Life, Character and Times of Paul Jones

Most of the modern scribblers in biography seem to describe their subjects as differing in many respects from the great mass of mankind, and so materially different, that to imitate their virtues, or seek to compare with them in any important respect, would be downright pre sumption in the rising generation; and if, through envy, hate or malice, they are endeavoring to damn one to ever lasting fame, they represent him with so many bad quali ties and so few or no good ones, that the reader is not warned of his own danger to become equally wicked, feel ing that it would be impossible.
