Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memorials of Thomas Hood, Vol. 1 of 2: Collected, Arranged, and Edited by His Daughter, With a Preface and Notes by His Son
IN submitting the following memorials to the public, my sister and myself would wish, at the first outset, to warn those who think to find in them fine biographical writing, that the book is not for them. We have seen too many great men fail in that art, and we feel no desire to emulate them. Our own part in this work is small, being restricted to such explanations and amplifications as were necessary to connect the letters, to which we have added, here and there, characteristic anecdotes, to which reference is made in them.
