Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Walks About St. Hilary: Chiefly Among the Poor The MSS. from which this volume is compiled were given to her sister, Miss Willyams, by Mrs. Pascoe, on the eve of her departure from St. Hilary, the home of fifty years. They were addressed in the form of letters to the friend of her youth, Mrs. Benjamin Wood (née Michell, of Truro), and were begun in 1836, and carried on at various intervals during the ten following years. In September, 1875, Miss Willyams thus writes of them: - "Some of these ´Walks´ were transcribed and forwarded to the writer at Carnanton, and, at her death, sent for revision to our cousin, Charlotte Rogers. I have undertaken the remainder with the hope of furnishing a correct transcript, from which to procure a few printed copies for gifts to the attached friends of my loved sister. To the devoted friend, Mary Rogers, who was to her almost as a daughter, I must leave the arrangement, as I fear my failing powers may be unequal to the task." This proved to be the case. The venerable sister did not live to see the work accomplished, although she reached the age of ninety-one. It only remains to be added, with regard to the following pages, that such memorials of love and kindness need no apology or commendation from those who have now, to the best of their ability, fulfilled the pleasant labour of arranging them, and whose tender and life-long affection, both for the writer and her subject, must be their plea for presenting you with these "Walks about St. Hilary," by a beloved kinswoman and friend.
