The Life, Letters, and Literary Remains of Edward Bulwer, Lord Lytton, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life, Letters, and Literary Remains of Edward Bulwer, Lord Lytton, Vol. 1 MY father's wishes on the subject of his unpublished manuscripts were conveyed to me in a letter opened after his death. It expressed a hope that the story of his life, which in one bf those manuscripts he had left half told, might perhaps be completed by his son. But only in that case was the imperfect record to be published; and it was his desire that by no one else should any biography of him be written.
