A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Fifteen years ago my father wrote, on the cover of the first packet of his mothers letters which he had collected, the following words: I had always promised myself that I would write a Life of my mother; but I now think it will be enough that I should leave all her writings in a condition to be published. I have just re-read her letters. Only once, and that thirty years ago, had I perused the entire series. Occasionally I read a few of them, but I always adjourned the task to which I am now setting myself. By fulfilling this task, by arranging this rich correspondence, and throwing fresh light on it by the aid of other documents, I am preparing a collection for publication, and raising to my mothers memory the monument most worthy of her. I am not sure that herL etters will not do her even more honor, in certain respects, than herM emoirs, which have been so highly appreciated by all who have read them. My fathers death, or rather, I should say, his life, his cares, his labors, and the noble efforts which distinguished his later years, prevented him from carrying out his purpose, and I am under the necessity of terminating singly the work which we commenced jointly.
