Some Further Recollections of a Happy Life, selected from the Journals of Marianne North, chiefly between the Years 1859 and 1869

Abstract

THIS volume might very appropriately have borne the title of “Earlier Recollections,” inasmuch as it describes the life of Marianne North antecedent to the period comprised in the two volumes previously before the public. On this point Mrs. Symonds says in her preface: “When publishing the former volumes of my sister's autobiography, it was thought wiser to cut out some of the earlier chapters describing well-known ground, in order to make room for those more distant journeys by which her name had become known to the to the world. But the unexpected success which that book met with induces me now to add those first European journeys, with one through Egypt and Syria.”

Some Further Recollections of a Happy Life, selected from the Journals of Marianne North, chiefly between the Years 1859 and 1869.

Edited by her sister, Mrs. John Addington Symonds. Post 8vo, pp. 316, with two portraits and a sketch. (London and New York: Macmillan and Co., 1893.)
