Excerpt from The Life of Mrs. Mary D. JamesTo write an introduction to a biography is a task from which most persons of discrimination shrink. The space is too limited for a portraiture, descanting upon the uses of biography is super¿uous, because trite. Often the biographer, whose work is introduced, has fallen into an excess of eulogy, distasteful to him who is placed in the attitude of indorsing the work. Occasionally the defect is at the other extreme, a coldness pervades the pages, where life and warmth are required in justice to the character portrayed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
