Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of James Robert Hope-Scott of Abbotsford, Vol. 1 of 2: With Selections From His Correspondence A Few Observations Only are required by way of introduction to the Second Edition of these Memoirs. I have carefully revised the whole, but have made no changes that appear to require notice beyond the correction of clerical or typographical errors, and of a few mistakes as to matters of fact, the instances in all three classes being generally of small moment. I have also been able to decipher here and there a word which had formerly baffled me in the MSS. I have taken this opportunity of introducing a few additional documents of interest, especially an important letter of Mr. Gladstone´s to Mr. Hope-Scott on his own early political career, for the use of which, with some other fresh extracts from their correspondence, I have to express my best thanks. A letter has also been added from the Hodgkin papers, which did not reach me in time for the First Edition, throwing further light on the Anglican period of Mr. Hope-Scott´s religious history. Some striking passages from an article on Mr. Hope-Scott, contributed to Macmillans Magazine by Sir Francis Hastings Doyle, have been inserted, and an early letter of Sir Francis to Mr. Hope, relating a touching incident connected with the death of Arthur Hallam.
