Présentation de l'éditeur

Preface Such unity as these Studies of a Century possess is due to all of them, I believe, having been written either to or in a house at Burford, in Oxfordshire, and so I call them all Burford Papers.

The further illustrations which we gain from these letters of Samuel Crisp of the literary circle in which Fanny Burney moved at the time of her first great success will, I hope, be welcomed by all those to whom Dr. Johnson and the Thrales, as well as the author of Evelina, are old friends. I think that the other details, more domestic, of the letters medical, pecuniary, and the like are also worth preserving ;and certainly the picture which is given of the writer himself is a delightful one. The other papers in the book were all (or nearly all) written in the house where Mrs. Gast lived when she received the letters of her brother, Samuel Crisp. I have described different parts of it in the course of the volume. The letters of Samuel Crisp have never been printed before ;and, of my own sketches, those called In the Other House, Some Oxfordshire Jacobites, AS panish Court Painter, AB ath Evening, The Rev.
