Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Trials of Life, Vol. 2 of 2 To whom can I better dedicate my Recollections of Alicia, than to you, my dear Madam, who knew the fair original? time and sorrow had indeed, before you saw her, dimmed the lustre of her matchless beauty; but even then enough remained to excite your admiration, mixed, perhaps, with the charitable regret that the powers of her mind should be so much less striking than the brilliancy of her eye. You knew neither what her situation then was, nor what it had been - how strongly she could feel, and how nobly she could act. I rejoice in vindicating, to one of your candid temper, the memory of a friend, endeared to me no less by the real excellence of her disposition, than by her successive misfortunes. I have faithfully related what I knew of her story, and heard of her sentiments. My anxiety to avoid extraneous matter, or to lend to a mere effort of memory those embellishments which can belong properly only to a work of imagination, has often, I fear, made my narrative unconnected and desultory. To you, who know it to be fact, it may however still wear a semblance of interest; and in that hope I present it to you, trusting you will be disposed to read the latter part with the same indulgence with which you perused the former.
