Excerpt from Memoir and Correspondence of Susan Ferrier, 1782-1854: Based on Her Private Correspondence in the Possession of and Collected By, Her Grand-Nephew, John FerrierPerrier of St. Andrews, and, therefore, grand-nephew of the novelist. To him also is due, with hardly any exception, the biographical matter contained in the notes and else where. My task has been confined to arrangement, in which I have been largely assisted by the advice Of Mr. Perrier, and to supplying the occasional comments which appear in the text. Mr. Perrier has elsewhere expressed our sincere thanks to the Rev. H. M. Pletcher for the kindness with which he has placed at our disposal the letters written by Miss Perrier to his mother. It is much to be regretted that many of Miss Perrier's letters can no longer be found. Especially unfortunate is the disappear ance Of a number Of very characteristic letters written to her intimate friend, Miss Anne Walker, Of Dalry. These are known to have been in existence not many years ago.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
