Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Charles Lever I Undertook, not without diffidence, the task of writing the Life of Charles Lever; but observing, some years ago that the men who best knew him were fast passing away, and that not one of the survivors was likely to take the labour in hand, I determined to adopt the suggestion of a gifted friend, and to go to work while their help yet remained available. One by one they have since followed him to whose memory they helped to build this cairn. I desire at the very outset to express my gratitude to Levers life-long associate, Major Dwyer, whom he designed to be his biographer. Dwyer placed all his treasures at my disposal, and his aid has been prodigal all through. Canon Hayman, Hector of Douglas, Lever´s old friend and correspondent, also deserves my best thanks. He, as well as Mr. Pearce, of Queen Anne Street, now a distinguished artist, and formerly the amanuensis of Lever, carefully revised the proof-sheets. Mr. Harry Innes - a gentleman doubly related to Lever - has enriched the present edition with a mass of interesting detail. The Examiner - dear to memories of Hunt, Hazlitt, Fonblanque, and Forster - in reviewing this Life of Lever, qualified some praise, which it too kindly bestowed, by adding: - "Mr. Fitzpatrick may not have produced a model biography; but, perhaps, the chief reason of this is, that he has set a very difficult ideal before him.
