Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Edmund Yates, Vol. 1 of 2: His Recollections and Experiences
This book is the product of a good memory, a collection of interesting letters from well-known persons, partly inherited, partly formed by myself, and a few diaries, kept in a vague and desultory fashion. Whether it was or was not worth writing will soon be known: I thought it was, and if any account of my life was ever to be written, I knew that no one could write it so well as myself. Nor, as it seems to me, is there any reason why its publication should be posthumous. I have said in it nothing of which I am ashamed; I do not think I have said any harsh thing of any person, alive or dead I am certain that I have not said such a thing consciously.
