A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Mrs. Traill sbook was already in the press when I was requested by the publisher to write a short -biographical sketch of the authors life as an introduction. Both time and space were limited, and I undertook the task with much anxiety, knowing that with such and other limitations I could scarcely expect to do the subject justice. I have endeavored to use Mrs. Traill sown notes and extracts from her letters, wherever available, hoping thus to draw a life-like picture rather than enumerate the incidents of her life or put the records of the past into cold type. I have dwelt particularly on the circumstances of Mrs. Traill schildhood and youth, which I believe went far to influence her later life and direct her literary labors, and because they are also likely to be of greater interest to the public and the readers of her books than a mere detailed record of her life.
