Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memoirs and Letters of Richard and Elizabeth Shackleton, Late of Ballitore, Ireland: Compiled by Their Daughter, Mary Leadbeater; Including a Concise Biographical Sketch, and Some Letters, of Her Grandfather, Abraham Shackleton
A considerable number of letters, or extracts from letters, addressed by the late Richard Shackleton to some of his numerous friends, have already been submitted to the public eye, principally collected by his worthy, much-valued contemporary, John Ken dall; by which his talents for epistolary converse have been evinced, in a way that it is hoped will favourably dispose many readers to receive the present volume.
