Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters and Recollections of John Murray Forbes, Vol. 1 of 2 About twelve years ago my father put together in manuscript a couple of volumes of reminiscences of his life; and these, together with a vast collection of letters to him, press copies of letters from him, and other papers, he left in my charge, mainly that I might make selections from the whole and put them more definite form for his grandchildren. I am led to believe, however, that his life and character were exceptional enough to make some account of him of general interest. With the view of giving this to the public I have made extracts from such parts of his notes as seem to be to the purpose, and have selected from the letters and papers those which explain and give color to the scenes and events recalled. In a preliminary chapter I have given some general description of my father´s habits and characteristics, such as may help a reader who did not know him the better to understand what follows.
