Excerpt from The Life of Thomas Chatterton, Including His Unpublished Poems and Correspondence Sixty-seven years have elapsed since the death of Thomas Chatterton, and his memoirs, which have appeared from several pens, seemed to the author of this biography to have held up the shadowed side of his brief life to public observation, and to have studiously concealed those traits in his character, which should have rescued him from the ill nature of those who neglected him whilst living, and traduced him when dead. Much information respecting "the marvellous boy" having fallen into the authors hands, he has with pleasure performed a task which has not been altogether devoid of difficulties. These, however, have been considerably lessened by the kind offices of friends, and it is his pleasing duty to acknowledge the assistance he has received.
