Excerpt from Charles Lever, Vol. 1 of 2: His Life in His Letters After due consideration, it seemed to me that a Life of Lever wrought out of his letters and other autobiographical material would present the man and the story writer in a more intimate and pleasing light than the picture which is furnished by Dr Fitzpatrick. In the present work I have endeavoured to let Charles Lever speak for him self whenever it is possible to find authentic utter ances. Incidentally many errors into which Dr Fitzpatrick had fallen are corrected, but I am not making any attempt to supersede his pains taking, voluminous, and interesting biography. Dr Fitzpatrick declares that his book largely em braces the earlier period of Lever's life the present work deals mainly with his literary life, and contains, especially in the second volume, fresh and illuminating material which was not disclosed to Lever's previous biographer, and which afi'ords an intimate view of the novelist as he saw himself and his work.
