Book Description
Excerpt from The Sexagenarian, or the Recollections of a Literary Life, Vol. 1 of 2 Here I may expatiate without fear of interruption, and what is more, without suspicion of my sincerity upon those intel lectual qualities, which I have witnessed for almost half a century, growing as it were from a grain of mustard-seed to a tree, beneath whose spreading branches chil dren and grand-children have reposed in security and peace. I might enlarge upon the sagacity which foresaw the approach of human ill, on the discretion which eu countered, and on the fortitude which en dured it. Yes! The imagination might indulge itself in remembering the delight. With which we traversed together, the gay and enlivening fields of youth, and the cheerfulness and composure with which the. Chilling winds of age were opposed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
