Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Leaves From the Diary of a Literary Amateur: John Herman Merivale, 1819-1844 This little work has a local origin. The author of the Diary referred to on the title page was buried in the old churchyard at Hampstead. The writer was in search of information concerning Mr Merivale, whose portrait he hoped to add to a collection of the worthies of Hampstead, when he came across the diary in a privately printed book of Family Memorials. It appeared to him full of interest, reviving, as it does, memories of the brilliant society, literary and social, of the early part of the nineteenth century. A magazine article was intended, but as this would have meant a very limited use of the available material, the writer was extremely glad to fall in with the spirited suggestion of the publisher "to make a book of it." illustrations are of great interest. The portrait of John Herman Merivale, which stands first, is from an engraving from the crayon by E. U. Eddis. Mr Merivale´s impressions of it are given in a note. That of Joanna Baillie is from a facsimile of the original water-colour wash drawing by Mary Ann Knight. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
