Book Description
Excerpt from Autobiography of Sir Walter Scott, BartIf this were owing merely to the accidents of fortune, it would be scarcely worthy of remark; but it is to be attributed far less to these, than to a native amiableness of character, and to a uniform equanimity which he has struggled to preserve in every situation. Itis to be attributed also to a steady pursuit of those objects which he determined in the outset to make the business of his life; to an anxious care in avoiding useless controversies into which men, frequently before the public, and espe cially literary men, are apt to plunge themselves; and to a just and modest consciousness, that, as a member of society, there were duties to be per. Formed, and relations to be maintained, from which no elevation of genius could release him.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
