Excerpt from Sheridan and His Times, Vol. 1 of 2
So much of his history as relates to periods be fore his acquaintance with Sheridan, which was commenced in the year 1790, is composed of these memorials, confirmed by narrations from Sheridan himself, and conversations held at different periods even to the close of his days.
It must be noted that the author was only the eleventh year of his age when first introduced into the family of Sheridan, the junior of Mr. Thomas Sheridan, his only son, by about four years. He was in the thirteenth at the time of the death of Mrs. Sheridan; all the rest will be developed in the course of the work. It may be but fair to re mark that the volumes before the reader were produced in a sick chamber, under distressing circumstances of health, and that they have not been subjected to a fair revision; but they will be judged for themselves, and apology will avail but little in arrest of judgment.
