Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Archibald Constable and His Literary Correspondents, Vol. 1 of 3: A Memorial If it be asked why I venture to come before the public, laden with three great volumes, to revive the memory of a man who died nearly half a century ago, and regarding whom much has already been said and written by those who had ample opportunities of studying his character and weighing his achievements, - my answer is, that he who died so long ago was my father, and that although his abilities as a publisher may not have been underrated, his character and his actions have been painfully misrepresented. The only reason why my version of the tale has not long ere now been told, is that the materials for telling it - fragmentary as they are - only reached my hands a few years ago, and that their examination and arrangement has been no easy task.
