Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reminiscences of a Literary Life On a printed leaflet prefixed to his anecdotes, dated "Charterhouse, August, 1857," he records thirty books written and published by him between the years 1820 and 1857, besides a large number of articles contributed to magazines (cf. Appendix). Between 1844 and 1846 he wrote three novels or "Historical Tales," the best of which, "The Camp of Refuge, or the Last of the Saxons," found considerable favour, and may have given Kingsley the idea for his well-known novel, "Hereward the Wake." MacFarlane arrived in Italy in January, 1816, and lived at Naples till the year 1827, when he visited Sicily, Malta, Greece, and Turkey, the result being his "Constantinople in 1828," published in 1829. In the spring of that year he arrived in London. The autumn and winter of the same year he spent at Brighton, with the object of restoring his health, which had suffered from malarial fever, contracted during his travels. At Brighton he made the acquaintance of his life-long friend, William Stewart Rose, "a man to my heart of hearts," of whom, and of his friend the Rev. Charles Townsend, he gives such an engaging description. Soon after this he must have married, for his eldest son Charles was born at Edinburgh on the 4th July, 1832. He lived at Friern Barnet from 1832 to 1846, when he again visited Italy and Turkey with his eldest son, the result being two books, "A Glance at Revolutionized Italy in 1848," and "Turkey and its Destiny" (2 vols., 1850). On his return to England he settled at Burgate, Canterbury, till his admission to the Charterhouse, on the nomination of the Archbishop of Canterbury, in June, 1857. Towards the end of his life, MacFarlane seems to have fallen on evil times. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
