While the historian delights us with profundity of reflection, the poet with the charms of numbers, the wit with brilliancy of imagination, and the novelist with interesting situations, the biographer, by an impartial dis play of the virtues and failings of our nature, arrests our undivided attention, and instruct: us how to imitate the one, and how to avoid the other. But great as may be the interest of. Bio graphy in general, it becomes irresistible when the subject of the memoir has been contempora.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Life of Ali Pasha, Late Vizier of Jannina: Surnamed Aslan, or the Lion His life and death are eminently qualified to point a moral and adorn a tale. From the rise of Ali to the summit of power, we learn how much maybe achieved by stubborn perseverance and courage never to submit or yield his utter contempt of truth and honour, and his reckless shedding of blood, afford a melancholy proof of the evils which result from the possession of unlimited authority, and the absence of moral and religious restraints; and his fall, mainly if not wholly caused by his own ambition, avarice, and quenchless thirst of revenge, bears incontrovertible testimony to the danger which, sooner or later, springs from the passions being permitted to triumph over reason. Before we enter upon the narrative of Ali's actions, it may not be improper to pause a moment, for the purpose of casting a glance upon the history of Epirus, the nature of the country, and the manners of its inhabitants. And first as to its history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
