Description
Excerpt from Sir Richard Tangye
Blackmore, Lorna Doone. That'' was a small thing in itself, but it reveals the man.
It only remains to add, first, that this book is based on his own letters and papers which were placed at my unfettered discretion. Next, that many of his friends, both in business and private life - one or two of them could go back to his boy hood - have given me hints and reminiscences, and foremost amongst them his nearest relatives. I wish to add my sense of indebtedness to Dr. Guinness Rogers for his interesting contribution to the final chapter, and also to Mr. Chambers, of Edinburgh, for allowing me to make use of articles on the begging fraternity contributed - by Sir Richard Tangye - to the famous Journal which bears his name.
