Excerpt from Frances Trollope, Vol. 1 of 2: Her Life and Literary Work From George III, to Victoria
I prefix these few words to the Memoir of Mrs. Trollope, not with any idea of trying to bespeak the reader's interest in my subject, or to beg his indulgence for my treatment of it. To the best of my judgment, such attempts are seldom justifiable, and still more seldom successful.
That I desire to create such interest, and that I need such indulgence, is very true. But I do not think I shall obtain them by begging for them.
I wish merely, in the first place, to point out that, although Thomas Adolphus and Anthony Trollope have, in the course of their respective biographies, written of their mother, yet she appears-necessarily appears-only incidentally in their pages, and is seen only by a side-light. I have thought that her personality, and her literary career, merited being described more fully.
