Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Barthold George Neibuhr, Vol. 1 of 2: With Essays on His Character and Influence
As I have already observed, these are not to be judged from the point of view which would be taken by an editor of Niebuhr's learned or general corre spondence such a one would have made a very different and a much more copious selection, and would probably, too, have followed critical rules which were beside the aim of the present work. This aim is simply biographical to communicate whatever can throw light upon his natural capacities and dispositions, - his mental develop ment,~ - his studies, - his mode of thought, - his views of life, the State, art, and literature, - his relations as a citizen, a friend, and a member of the domestic circle, his large and profound sympathies, - his keen sense of the noble and beautiful, - his zeal for justice and truth and, not less, his faults and weaknesses. For these, too, neither ought nor need to be glossed over. Niebuhr was not so poor in great and amiable qualities, as to require an artificial light, in order to retain the esteem of those whose esteem he would have valued and while his letters contain many beautiful traits which a regard to others forbids us to publish, they contain nothing which could have brought our friendship for him and our love of truth into collision.

No justification could be needed for offering to the English public a Life of Niebuhr, but it seems neces sary to explain how far the present work can claim to be considered as such.
