Excerpt from The Dramatic and Poetical Works of the Late Lieut., Vol. 1: Gen. J. Burgoyne
Few circumstances have more frequently, or with more reason, been lamented, by writers of biography, than the deficiency which they have found of materials, for enabling them to trace the progress of celebrated but originally obscure characters, at their first entrance into a state of active existence. The early life of many who steadily worked their way up to distinguished eminence is buried in total darkness.
