Beschreibung

(12) , 199 pages + 11 plates + (2) page index. Blue cloth covers with gilt lettering on spine and front board. Minor stain on front board. From the preface: "There is always an element of sadness in retrospect. When the thoughts are allowed to travel back into the past - the remote past - many stand out to view who, with good natural powers and with splendid advantages of social connection and culture, bade fair to occupy distinguished places, and to stamp their mark impressively on the page of history. But their leaf perished in the green, their days closed in dark tragedy, and they seem to flit across the stage of life like the mournful, silent shades of the Aeneid, without even the retrospective joys, which many of those possessed, of having, according to their circumstance and lights, lived to some purpose, and won heroic distinction in the strife of the battlefield.
