Synopsis
Excerpt from Memoirs of Richard Lovell Edgeworth, Esq., Vol. 1 of 2: Begun by Himself and Concluded by His Daughter
In relating the life of any man who has never lived in absolute obscurity, some-of the history of others must be interspersed. To steer between the extremes of too much, or too little, of What is not strictly the history of the writer, is difficult. Some of my readers may think that I say too much of my friends and some may blame me for having omitted many particulars, relative to distinguished characters, which might have amused the public. The can did critic will be aware of these difficul ties, and will be most likely to absolve me.

About the Author
Although born in England in 1768, Maria Edgeworth was raised in Ireland from a young age after the death of her mother. After nearly losing her sight at age fourteen, Edgeworth was tutored at home by her father, helping to run their estate and taking charge of her younger siblings. Over the course of her life she collaborated and published books with her father, and produced many more of her own adult and children s works, including such classics as Castle Rackrent, Patronage, Belinda, Ormond and The Absentee. Edgeworth spent her entire life on the family estate, but kept up friendships and correspondences with her contemporaries Sir Walter Scott and Lord Byron, and her writing had a profound influence upon Jane Austen and William Makepeace Thackeray. Edgeworth was outspoken on the issues of poverty, women s rights, and racial inequalities. During the beginnings of famine in Ireland, Edgeworth worked in relief and support of the sick and destitute. She died in 1849 at the age of 81.
