P., Afterwards the Right Hon. T. F Kennedy, With Other Letters From Eminent Persons During the Same Period, 1818-1852Each reader can connect them with the information he may himself possess, or acquire from other sources, and thus they become contributions to the true History of the Country.Had the publication been delayed until a later period there would-have been a smaller number, or no persons remaining, who lived in, or had any personal knowledge of, the times to which the letters relate.It may be worth while to advert brie¿y to some principal points in the condition of things in Scotland about the time when these letters commence. Many' persons, now above fifty years afterwards, may not be' aware of the mere facts on some subjects at that time, nor know that important changes have taken place which have now become matters of course, and have ceased to attract any attention, because they have ceased to be a new state of things.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
