Letters and Memorials of Jane Welsh Carlyle, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Letters and Memorials of Jane Welsh Carlyle, Vol. 1The Letters which form these volumes were placed in my hands by Mr. Carlyle in 1871. They are annotated throughout by himself. The few additional observations occasionally required are marked with my initials.I have not thought it necessary to give an introductory narrative of Mrs. Carlyle's previous history, the whole of it being already related in my account of the 'first forty years' of her husband's life. To this I must ask the reader who wishes for information to be so good as to refer.Mr. Carlyle did not order the publication of these Letters, though he anxiously desired it. He left the decision to Mr. Forster, Mr. John Carlyle, and myself.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
