Excerpt from The Life of Darcy, Lady Maxwell, of Pollock, Late of Edinburgh, Vol. 1 of 2: Compiled From Her Voluminous Diary and Correspondence, and From Other Authentic DocumentsIt was durmg the Editor's residence in Edinburgh, that he became personally ac quainted with Miss napier, and the ac quaintance had not long been formed, before he was requested to visit her, on a sick and dying bed. It was then he first learnt the nature of that engagement into which she had entered, and received from her, repeated assurances, that it should be sacredly regarded. After a tedious and painful emiction, she was removed by death, and the manuscripts, with which she had been intrusted, were, by her appointment, presented to the Editor, in the most obliging manner. These included her Ladyship's Diary, and the Letters ad dressed to Lady hope. For most of the other Letters he is indebted to the kindness of Mrs. Mortimer, formerly Miss Rrrcmn, one of her Ladyship's correspondents.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
