Synopsis
Excerpt from The Point of View in History
A distinctly less favorable condition is found when the biographer, although belonging to the same century with the subject of the biography, is of a different nationality, and when he speaks a different language. Thereby will. Result, even if not always perceptible to the biographer, a very decided veil of obscurity, in not a few instances, between the writer and his facts.
But suppose that this veil of obscurity is one of time, rather than of place, and that the biography of one of the main actors in the events of the eighteenth century is to be written by a writer living in the Twentieth Century.
