Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from My Life and Work When I first began these memoirs five years ago at the request of my family and friends I had no intention of publication, and it naturally took the form of a personal narrative following as nearly as possible chronological order. The first part I was able to write myself with comparative ease, owing to vivid recollections of my early life, assisted by my sister, Mrs. Harley, who had been my constant companion both when I was a student in Germany and on frequent visits to other parts of the Continent. My eyesight, however, began to fail, resulting in a short time in almost total blindness, which compelled me to resort to dictation, leading to much inconvenience and difficulties, as in the second and third parts constant reference was required to newspapers and periodicals to ensure accuracy in treating of public affairs which I could not do myself. This accounts for the mixing up of purely personal and family affairs with public events of the time. When the memoirs were finished and had been read by some of my family and Mr. John Lane, they thought it might be of some interest to a wider circle and urged its publication, to which I assented.
