Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pamphlets and Sketches The half-dozen pieces comprised in this volume are given for the most part in the chronological order in which they originally appeared. The Letter upon the Political Crisis of 1834 had an extraordinary success at the time of its first publication, enjoying, besides this, the repute of having considerably influenced the General Election, which immediately afterwards led to a change of government. How it was that the "Confessions of a Water-Patient" came to be written at all may be here explained. Mr. Harrison Ainsworth having, in 1845, purchased the New Monthly Magazine, applied to Sir Edward Lytton, with whom he had long been on terms of intimacy, and who had himself been a former editor of that periodical, to aid his new enterprise with a contribution. In compliance with this request, these Experiences of the Water Cure were jotted down in the form of a letter addressed to Mr. Ainsworth, as editor of the New Monthly. Grateful for so welcome a contribution, the romancist of "Rookwood" begged his brother author´s acceptance of two antique suits of armour, which still adorn the banqueting-hall at Knebworth. As for the "Letters to John Bull," which appeared from the press in 1851, they were the vindication of the writer´s views as an agriculturist and a politician, or, as he expressed it by his signature, as a landlord and a labourer - views consistently maintained by him during seventeen years consecutively.
