'With the Publishers' Compliments embossed to title page. Sunned spine to cloth. Red cloth with gilt lettering. With a Memoir by the Rev. W. K. R. Bedford. The materials of which the present work is made up consist of authograph letters to Mr. Sharpe to his mother and other members of his familyl of rough drafts of letters in his own handwriting; of various fragmentary memoranda, also authograph; and of letters to Mr. Sharpe, almost all in the originals. In addition to these, a note-book of mr. Sharpe, into which he had copies his more important correspondence from 1810 to 1815, with a few entries of a later date, has furnished a number of the most complete and interesting letters in both volumes. Mr. Sharpe's correspondence naturally divides itself into two parts: the letters connected with his residence at Oxford, and with the friendships which he had formed there; and those belonging to his Edinburgh life, when he had in a great measure retired from society and devoted himself to literary, artistic, and antiquarian pursuits.
