Author Description

Excerpt from Memorials of the Life and Character of Lady Osborne and Some of Her Friends, Vol. 2 of 2 Letters stand in the same relation to biography that politics do to history. The events of a great character's life are made known by a mere biography, as history shews forth in the framed pictures left on the scaffolding of politics; but letters manifest the tone of mind as politics do the springs that guide the master hands accomplishing historical results.
