Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Private Correspondence of Thomas Raikes With the Duke of Wellington: And Other Distinguished Contemporaries The publication of this Correspondence, completing Mr. Raike´s Diary given to the public in the years 1856 and 1857, was intended to follow immediately upon the appearance of that work. It has been delayed by unavoidable circumstances to the present time. The preface to the Diary may be supposed to preclude any necessity for a Biographical Notice. Writers of letters and of journals are in fact their own reporters. And when they have survived the panic which assails the first production of a work of social reminiscences, prejudging it as the "Mene Tekel" of the times that it records, the biographer comes to take his footing with posterity, according to the influence that in life may have been allotted to his moral and intellectual perceptions, among the members of the society of his day.
