Thomas Ruddle of Shebbear: A North Devon Arnold; his Life and Selections From his Letters - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
On the contrary, he seems to have been at some pains to destroy such records and correspondence relating to himself as might have been of service in narrating the story of his life. Fortunately, however, many of his letters have been preserved by the two friends on the other side of the globe to whom he probably wrote at greatest length and with greatest freedom during his long career at Shebbear. Sir Samuel James Way, Chief Justice of South A ustralia, has kindly lent a considerable number of these, and the Rev. John Thorne, of A delaide, son of the Rev. James Thorne, and Mr. Ruddle soldest friend at Shebbear, an even greater number. Much of the information thus obtained has been inter woven with this narrative. Some portions of the letters are given at the end of this volume and together with one to Sir Robert White-T homson and a few to his Old Boys will, no doubt, constitute the most interesting and valuable portion of the book. For the rest, the chief aim of the writer has been to present in as many lights as so brief a narrative will permit, the portrait of a man whose influence over the lives of those who came in contact with him was very remark able.
