Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Memoir of Maria Edgeworth: With a Selection From Her Letters by the Late The energetic and courageous mind which had cheered and encouraged her in every difficulty was gone, and she felt drifting on an unknown sea without chart or compass. Nothing but her strong sense of duty could have enabled her to fulfil this task. Her eyes were still very weak; and from what she had suffered when they were inflamed in her childhood, she dreaded a total loss of sight before she could complete her father´s life. She therefore allowed herself very little of what had been her greatest relaxation - writing letters to her friends: however, when she did indulge in this pleasure, her handwriting shows no weakness of sight. To Mrs. Buxton. "Edgeworthstown, Jan. 24, 1818. My dearest aunt and friend - friend of my youth and age, and beloved sister of my father, how many titles you have to my affection and gratitude, and how delightful it is to me to feel them all! Since I have parted from you, I have felt still more than when I was with you the peculiar value to me of your sympathy and kindness. I find my spirits sink beyond my utmost effort to support them when I leave you, and they rise involuntarily when I am near you, and recall the dear trains of old associations, and the multitude of ideas I used to have with him who is gone for ever. Thank you, my dear aunt, for your most kind and touching letter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
