Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Journal of Mrs. Fenton: A Narrative of Her Life in India, the Isle of France (Mauritius), And Tasmania During the Years 1826-1830 Mrs. Fenton´s Journal deals with no stirring events, nor - except for one fleeting glimpse of Sir Henry Havelock, then an obscure subaltern - with any great historic figure. It is now given to the world in the belief that it is a not unsuccessful attempt to satisfy her friend´s demand for ´a familiar picture of the everyday occurrences, manners and habits of life of persons undistinguished either by wealth or fame´ and that such a picture, after the lapse of more than seventy years, itself becomes in some sort historical, while the rapid changes and vicissitudes of the writer´s own career add a more intimately human and individual element of interest. It has been found desirable to abridge the Journal considerably, and incidentally to mend the grammar of a few hastily written sentences, but changes in this respect have intentionally been made as sparingly as possible. Mrs. Fenton´s spelling has been modernised, though one parts regretfully with such words as ´tygres´ and ´atalevents´; that of Indian words has, as a rule, been preserved. Most of the quotations have obviously been written rapidly and from memory. They are left as written. In order to complete Mrs. Fenton´s portrait, one or two specimen have been retained out of a considerable number of verses.
