Description:Excerpt from In the Day of Battle: A Romance After five and forty years, they tell me, turbulent students of the University of Edinburgh listen with envy to stories of the battles of Peter Clephane and Angus Glenrae. To one whose sun is far past its meridian, and who ought rather to be engaged with his evening prayer than his morning folly, ungracious memories of headlong, random youth can afford little matter of consolation and none of pride. Nor will such reminiscences be revived here, save in so far as they are essential in giving clearness and coherency to the motive and events of this history. One's own good name is a jewel that needs delicate and discreet handling. Easily defaced, it is exceedingly hard to repair, and, what is worse, the utmost skill in patching is apt to leave traces of the blemish the owner would fain conceal. Moreover, he were infected by an odd malice towards himself who would gratuitously flaunt his failings in the public eye. To such a person belongs by birthright the motley coat and fool's cap, however zealously he may masquerade in the guise of a moralist. On the other hand, the honest historian will tell the truth, the naked ungraced truth, though he turn crimson in the telling.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
