Excerpt from Diaries of Sir Moses and Lady Montefiore, Vol. 1: Comprising Their Life and Work as Recorded in Their Diaries From 1812 to 1883A no less important circumstance, which I may perhaps be allowed to mention, is, that I was with Sir Moses on the last day of his life, until he breathed his last, and had the satisfac tion of baring from his own lips, immediately before his death, the expression of his approval of my humble endeavours to assist him, as far as lay in my power, in attaining the various objects he had in view.However desirous I might have been to adhere strictly to his wishes, I found it impossible to write a Memoir of Lady Montefiore without making it, at the same time, a Memoir of Sir Moses himself, both of them having been so closely united in all their benevolent works and projects. It appeared to me most desirable, therefore, in order to convey to the reader a correct idea of the contents of the book, to entitle it The Diaries of Sir Moses and Lady Montefiore.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
