Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Letter of Lady Sarah Lennox, 1745 1826, Vol. 1: Daughter of Charles, 2nd Duke of Richmond, and Successively the Wife of Sir Thomas Charles Bunbury, Bart;, And of the Hon. George Napier; Also a Short Political Sketch of the Years 1760 to 1763; With Numerous Photogravure Portraits Lady Sarah Lennox, fourth daughter of Charles, second Duke of Richmond, and Sarah, second daughter of William, Earl Cadogan, was the heroine of so much that is romantic, and was so constantly in touch with many persons of historical and general interest during her long and eventful life, that I think no apology is needed for bringing her letters before those who care to read them. But, beyond all this, the chief interest of the correspondence centres in her own charming personality, her buoyant spirits in early youth, her wonderful unselfishness and humility of mind which, as years went on, shine forth more and more in these letters; in fact, they may be regarded almost as a diary of thoughts and feelings, which she seems to have revealed only to the one friend of her early youth. Lady Sarah was born February 25, 1745, the youngest but one of five sisters, and had the misfortune to lose both parents when only six years of age. Her grandmother, Lady Cadogan, had the care of her for some years, after which she went to Holland House, and was brought up by her eldest sister, Lady Caroline Fox, afterwards first Lady Holland.
