Description:Excerpt from Life and Writings of Sir Thomas More: Lord Chancellor of England and Martyr Under Henry VIIIIn More's dedicatory letter to Thomas Ruthal of his translation into Latin of three of Lucian's dialogues, he complained that writers of the lives of saints sometimes indulge in falsehoods: "They have scarcely left. a life of martyr or of virgin without foisting into it something untrue - piously, no doubt! for of course there was a danger lest truth, left to itself, should not be able to stand upright; so that it was necessary to prop it up with lies!"I may say that my first anxiety in composing this Life of the illustrious writer, chancellor and martyr, has been not to merit this reproach; to state nothing that I did not believe, and to accept nothing for which I had not historical evidence. My first care was to collate the biographies of More already in existence.In giving some account of the principal of these, I shall be able at the same time to state the sources from which a correct and complete life of More can be drawn.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
