Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Our Book of Memories: Letters of Justin McCarthy to Mrs. Campbell Praed
Naturally, in this regard, a sense of responsibility weighs upon me, and I can only hope it will be recognised that, though I may have failed in some respects to carry out the purpose of this work, I have done my best to prove worthy of my old friend and literary colleague's trust, shown in his having given me the right to publish his portion of the contents of this Book of Memories, which we had originally planned to produce together.
One other word I would add and that is to ask for indul gence should error have crept in concerning the right order of events dealt with in the letters. It has been extremely difficult when going over a mass of correspondence, much of it written on the spur of the moment, and often undated save for the day of the week, to keep things always in their proper sequence. Again I can only say that I have done my best.
