A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Chapter I. EARLY LIFE. 1815-1829. ELIZABETH L. COMSTOCK was the daughter of William and Mary Rous,of Maidenhead, Berkshire, and was born there October 30th, 1815. She spent more than half her eventful life in A merica, and the last time she was in England, some nine or ten years ago, dictated the commencement of an autobiography, from which, and her numerous interesting letters, the following pages are compiled. We will quote first from the former ;I thas been truly said that Everyone slife is a Story ;the first page of my lifes story was opened at the little country town of Maidenhead, in Berkshire, England, six miles from the Royal Palace at Windsor. In the lull that succeeded the battle of Waterloo, when peace was restored to the European powers after their long conflict, and Napoleon srestless spirit was chafing on the rock-bound Island of St. Helena, my eyes opened upon my mothers face, beaming upon me with loving admiration. I was her first girl, the oldest of seven daughters one little brother had preceded me, and another followed two years later, over whose birth I rejoiced exceedingly, and in my excess of love nearly ended his life prematurely.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
