Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memories of Victorian London
May I dare to hope that a few words of preface to this book of Memories will hold my readers' attention for a moment, as it is very necessary that they should be written?
In my former volume of Recollections, no reference was made to certain episodes which must always rank among the great days of my life, yet which did not fit in with the general tenor of that book.
They had an interest all their own. They could not be dismissed with a passing tribute. They merited more much more. They haunted me in many a lonely High land glen, Or by the waters of some lapping lake - and the time seems now come when they can be put on record.
For it was my happy fate to be from time to time, from early youth onwards, the guest of a beloved relation, to me as a sister, in her London home, where she was the centre of a singularly attractive circle.
