Excerpt from Historical Portraits of Irish Chieftains and Anglo-Norman KnightsBut let Mr. Hallam select a Goth, who may be thought, fairly, to represent the nation, or tribe, .and let him tell us all he knows of his personal history, with all the old traditional gossip he can pick up respecting him, and the reader will thank him for the portrait. Attila the Hun, with his large head, imperious will, and dragon-like love Of beautiful women, makes an interesting portrait, in the hands of Gibbon, the Historian, but Mr. Hallam's taste, or power, did not lie in this department.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
