Journal of the Lady Beatrix Graham (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Journal of the Lady Beatrix Graham To give the true history of this little book will perhaps be the best way of introducing it to the public. Strange as it may seem in these days, it was not written for publication, but was the delight of years of loving labour, laid aside and resumed as other avocations permitted, written and re-written as a labour of pure love, pruned down from excrescences and details that the writer believes in while omitting them, printed for family reading, and finally, on family verdict launched into the world. Some characters have a sort of fascination that leads to their contemplation till there arises a longing on the part of the imagination throw itself into the times, and assume, as it were, an individuality, whence to contemplate the image at leisure.
