Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of Madame D´arblay, Author of "Evelina," "Cecilia," Etc, Vol. 1: Compiled From Her Voluminous Diaries and Letters, and From Other Sources "The Diary and Letters of Madame D´Arblay," edited by her Niece, have been presented to the public in so unwieldy and voluminous a form, made tedious by so many details that are foreign and uninteresting, that we cannot hesitate to believe that an attempt to separate the gold from the dross, the really valuable facts embodied in the narrative from the trivial and dull, will be indulgently received. The contemporary and friend of Johnson, Burke, Horace Walpole, and other master-spirits of English literature, the life of the "author of Evelina" presents the most ample materials for an entertaining and deeply instructive biography. We have endeavoured to avail ourselves of them in a manner the most acceptable to readers of taste; omitting no incident of importance, but avoiding all that seemed irrevelant and unattractive. The present work will be found to contain much that has never before been published in this country; while care has been taken to include all that seemed worthy of preservation in the "Diary and Letters" of Madame D´Arblay, the expensive character of which publication has rendered it a sealed book to the great majority of American readers.
