A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

For the materials which make the foundation of this biography my thanks are due first to members of Mrs. Norton sown family her grandson, Lord Grantley, whose permission made it possible for me to use her letters, both those already published and those which appear for the first time in these pages; her granddaughter, the Hon. Carlotta Norton; her niece. Lady Guendolen Ramsden; and Mrs. Sheridan of Frampton Court; whose personal recollections of Mrs. Norton and kind hospitality in letting me see a scrap-book and certain family pictures have greatly aided me in my work. I must also thank the directors of the Library in the British Museum for their courtesy in allowing me the privileges of this invaluable collection, at a time when the condition of the building, while undergoing repairs, might have furnished adequate excuse for denying those privileges to the passing stranger certainly, if not to the regular reader. I wish also to express my obligations to Mr. Murray, who kindly allowed me to use several hitherto unpublished letters from Mrs. Norton to his grandfather written between the years 1834-8.
