Book Description
Excerpt from The Literary Life and Correspondence of the Countess of Blessington, Vol. 1 of 3 I dedicate, my dear Quin, this work to you - one of the most intimate friends of that gifted lady who is the subject of it, and whose entire confidence was possessed by you, I inscribe it to you in remembrance of old and happy days, of kind friends, and of many intimate acquaintances of our early days in Italy - of people we have met in joyous scenes and memorable places; some highly gifted, subsequently greatly distinguished, most of whom have passed away since you and I first became acquainted with the late Countess of Blessington, in Naples, upward of thirty years ago. Perhaps these pages may recall passages in our young days which, in the turmoil of the cares and struggles of advanced years, it may be a sort of recreation to our wearied minds and jaded energies to have presented to us again in a life-like form.
