John Forster By One Of His Friends P H Fitzgerald PDF Download

Excerpt from John Forster and His Friendships John forster was a man of so many friendships; the position he occupied in the literary and artistic worlds of his day was so important and far-reaching, that to do even the commonest justice to his memory involved much investigation, time and patience. Happily, my task has been rendered comparatively easy, owing to the ready help so generously accorded me. The result, whatever its fate may be, I leave to speak for itself, merely saying, that I have done my best to present John Forster, and some of the more intimate of his myriad friends, in their habits as they lived. I am old enough to have remembered much, but success would have been impossible Without the assistance of those, who, either from personal knowledge, or from family tradition, have so largely contributed to whatever measure of it it may attain.
