Letters Of John Mason Neale D D PDF Download

Excerpt from Letters of John Mason Neale IT was hoped that many of the letters in this volume would have had a place in Mrs. Charles Towle's Memoir of John Mason Neale, published three years ago but the author found that the limitations of one volume forbade their inclusion, and it was then suggested that, if the book met with a favourable reception, it might be followed by a supplementary volume of letters. This idea has met with the warm approval of many of Dr. Neale's old friends and admirers, who, whilst charmed with the Memoir, have regretted that the subject Of it should not oftener speak for himself. Encouraged by this approval, his daughters, whilst conscious of their lack of literary skill, and of the difficulty of selection from so large a number of letters written upon such a variety of subjects, are emboldened to try and com plete in some measure the portrait of their father's Character, the outline of which has been drawn by the graceful pen of Mrs. Towle.
