Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Rosina, Lady Lytton: Numerous Extracts From Her Ms. Autobiography and Other Original Documents; Published in Vindication of Her Memory In presenting to the public these somewhat fragmentary and imperfect Reminiscences, it is necessary that I should enter upon a brief explanation of the reasons for my decision to publish a volume which purists may consider a scandal, and Gallios a superfluity. In 1884 I was responsible for the publication of some three hundred letters of the late Lord Lytton to his wife, which I hoped would both aid in enabling the world to form a more accurate judgment of the private character of his lordship than had hitherto been obtainable, and also in clearing the reputation of his unhappy wife, whom I have the best possible reasons for asserting to have been a greatly maligned and misunderstood woman. But Lord Lytton´s son was of a very different opinion, and he obtained an injunction against me restraining their publication. He acted within his rights; and, having been adjudged at fault by a court of law, it does not beseem me to impugn the justice of its decision, although I must ever bitterly regret such a result.
