Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Charles Lever, Vol. 1 of 2 Critical judgments on some recent biographies have convinced me that the free introduction of a man´s private letters is often a mistake. The otherwise valuable "Life of the Rev. Charles Kingsley" may perhaps be taken as an example; in reviewing which the Athenoeum and other journals condemned as uninteresting, and calculated to create "disappointment," the letters with which his widow filled it. The most troublesome part of my labour was to digest the mass of Lever´s correspondence, and to reject all that did not contain something characteristic of his life. I have read piles of his letters without being tempted to make many notes. Every point, however, marked by wit, or as furnishing fact for his life, I have carefully welded into the narrative. Many of his letters digress into discussion on the politics of the hour, which to quote in these memoirs would tend to re-open questions happily long closed.
