Description
Excerpt from Memoirs of Field Marshal Sir Henry Wylie Norman
The question whether a man''s biography is worth the writing depends upon the answer to be given on the following points: Does the study of his life conduce to our knowledge of history Does it teach us how to live P Trusting that my readers will not ascribe to the materials left behind him by the late field-marshal Sir Henry Wylie Norman any such inadequacy of portraiture as is due to my treatment of the subject, I am bold enough to think that none will deny his claim to the study of his fellow-countrymen.
