Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Lord John Russell, Vol. 1 of 2 My Dear Lady Russell, It is now more than two years and a half ago since you did me the honour of asking me whether I would undertake to write the life of Lord John Russell. In doing so you were good enough to promise that ´all private as well as public papers, letters, diaries, would be at [my] disposal.´ You subsequently gave me an assurance that, in carrying out my work, I should be free from any conditions, and at liberty to deal with the subject in my own way, and in accordance with my own opinions. In now handing to you these volumes, I desire gratefully to acknowledge the manner in which you have fulfilled your promise and acted on your assurance. You have not only placed at my disposal the private and official papers which are either in your own or in your brother´s (Mr. George Elliot´s) custody; but you have given me access to diaries and letters of a much more private nature, which have proved of the utmost value to me, but which neither I nor any one - except those who are nearest and dearest to you - could have hoped to have had opened to him.
