Opis: Tales of the Peerage and the Peasantry (Classic Reprint) - Sullivan Arabella Jane

Excerpt from Tales of the Peerage and the Peasantry
The authoress feels much diffidence in sending forth to the world a tale which by its title gives promise of treating not only of history, but for Scottish history; an act of presumption from which she is anxious to clear herself; - and at the same time she wishes to re-assure those readers who may not like historical novels from a woman's pen, that she has entered no farther into public affairs, than as they may have influenced the fortunes and feelings of the one admirable woman who forms the subject of the following memoir.
Since in the human heart the same passions and the same emotions are found in all ages, she hopes she has not trespassed beyond the limits assigned to one who is conscious that all she writes bears the stamp of feminine authorship, in attempting the development of a female character, the firmness and tenderness of which may be gathered from Lady Nithsdale's own beautiful letter to her sister.
The foundation of the story of the Hampshire Cottage is strictly true.
