PREFACE.
———
Though many notices of Miss Edgeworth have appeared from time to time,nothing approaching to a Life of her has been published in this country.As I have had the good fortune to have access to an unpublished memoirof her, written by her stepmother, as well as to a large number of herprivate letters, I am enabled to place what I hope is at least anauthentic biography before the reader. Besides much kindness receivedfrom the members of Miss Edgeworth's family, I have also to acknowledgemy obligations for help afforded in the preparation of this little bookto Mrs. George Ticknor and Miss Ticknor of Boston, U. S. A., Mrs. LeBreton, Sir Henry Holland, Bart., the Rev. Canon Holland, the Rev. Dr.Sadler and Mr. F. Y. Edgeworth.
London, August, 1883.
