Excerpt from The Story of Jane Austen's Life In May of the present year, a number of these chapters were read by the author to the late Hon. James Russell Lowell, at the latter's request, in the study at Elmwood; and more than one friendly criticism then received has been heeded in the final revision. Mr. Lowell took a warm interest in the work; and the author had hoped to have the happiness on one of these autumn days of placing the published book before him. But this was not to be; for just as the first pages were going to press, the summons came, and under the trees of Elmwood their owner passed for-the last time.

Excerpt from Jane Austen: Her Life and Letters; A Family Record A third point is the uneventful nature of the author's life, which, as we think, has been a good deal exaggerated. Quiet it certainly was; but the quiet life of a member of a large family in the England of that date was compatible with a good deal of stirring incident, happening, if not to herself, at all events to those who were nearest to her, and who commanded her deepest sympathies.

Excerpt from Jane Austen Her writings were, in fact, her life; and an attempt to give anything beyond the very brief est sketch of her career must resolve itself into a criticism of those writings. By these she is known to her many admirers'; and it is with the hope of making them even better known and more widely appreciated, that this little book is offered to the public. The writer wishes to express her obligations to Lord Brabourne and Mr. C. Austen Leigh for their kind permission to make use of the Memoir and Letters of their gifted relative, which have been her principal authorities for this work.

Excerpt from A Memoir of Jane Austen Printed; and extracts are given from a novel which she had begun a few months before her death} but the chief addition is a short tale never before published, called 'lady Susan.' I regret that the little which I have been able to add could not appear in my First Edition as much of it was either unknown to me, or not at my command, when I first published; and I hope that I may claim some indulgent allowance for the difficulty of recovering little facts and feelings which had been merged half.

Excerpt from The Novels of Jane Austen: Persuasion She had had a disappointment, moreover, which that book, and especially the history of her own family, must ever present the remem brance Of. The heir presumptive, the very William Walter Elliot, Esq., whose rights had been so generously supported by her father, had disappointed her. She had, while a very young girl, as soon as she had known him to be, in the event of her having no brother, the future baronet, meant to marry him, and her father had always meant that she should. He had not been known to them as a boy; but soon after Lady Elliot's death, Sir Walter had sought the acquaintance and though his overtures had not been met with any warmth, he had persevered in seeking it, making allowance for the modest drawing-back Of youth; and in one Of their spring excursions to London, when Elizabeth was in her first bloom, Mr. Elliot had been forced into the introduction.
