Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorials of Two Sisters, Susanna and Catherine Winkworth It is thirty years since Catherine Winkworth died, and those who read this book will naturally wonder what is the reason of its tardy appearance. After her death her eldest sister, Susanna, was asked by many friends whether she could not write some slight memorial of her. With that object in view, Susanna collected all the available letters. Unfortunately the four or five most valuable series had all been destroyed, very possibly because they were so interwoven with confidential matter that their recipients were unwilling they should be seen by any eyes but their own, for during the whole of her life Catherine´s sympathy and judgment were sought by all her friends in their most intimate concerns. However that may be, Susanna regretfully came to the conclusion that the material no longer existed which would have enabled her to give an adequate picture of her sister. She therefore decided against publication, but she collected a large number of general family letters, such as were of great interest to the immediate relations, though quite unsuitable for a larger circle of readers. To these letters she added the connecting narrative up to the year 1858. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
