Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Geron: The Old Man in Search of Paradise, a Posthumous Work In presenting this posthumous work to the public, it seems to be a sacred duty to the memory of the author to prefix a short biographical and literary notice of one who has been many years before the Church, although with characteristic modesty his name was always omitted from the title-pages of such works as were published during his lifetime. The authorship of one - probably the best-known production of his pen - was, however, very widely known soon after its publication. John Lavicount Anderdon was born at Bristol on the 5th of April, 1792. He was the third son of John Proctor Anderdon and Anne, daughter and coheiress with her sisters of Thomas Oliver, Esq., of Broghill Castle, Cork, afterwards Governor of Massachusetts. He was educated first at Dr. Nicholas´ preparatory school at Ealing, and afterwards at Harrow, from whence he was transferred, at an early age, to the office of Messrs. Manning and Anderdon, in which firm he became a partner about 1816, on his marriage with Anna Maria, second daughter of William Manning, Esq., M. P.
