A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

UxJ PREFACE. iGHTY-one years hav elapsed since the death of Thomas Ghatterton; and his memoirs, which have appeared from several pens, seemed to the author of this biography to have held up the shadowed side of his brief life to public observation, and to have studiously concealed those traits in his character, which should have rescued him from the ill nature of those who neglected him whilst living, and traduced him when dead. Much new information respecting the marvellous boy having fallen into the authors hands, he has with pleasure performed a task which has not been altogether devoid of difl Sculties.
