Excerpt from Memoirs of Richard Lovell Edgeworth, Esq. Nearly a quarter of a century has elapsed since these Memoirs first appeared in two volumes. In revising the book for a new edition, the two volumes have been compressed into one. The part written by my father I have left untouched, having been assured by many readers, and by those on whose judgment I ought most to rely, that it is interesting. The volume which I added has been nearly rewritten, in order to bring it into due proportion, giving only what is necessary to complete the view of my father's life and character in as few words as I possibly could. I hope this part may not be found long and heavy, that it may not defeat my object, and prevent these Memoirs from being read with satisfaction and profit by the rising generation. And now, in my 77th year - this being probably the last time that I shall venture to address the public - I take leave of my kind readers with feelings of the most sincere respect and gratitude.
