About the book >.>.> The pages of autobiography which follow deal only with that part of Mrs. Bray’s life which preceded the present generation. The natural task of her Editor would perhaps seem to be to supplement her narrative by an account of her later years. But partly through the attenuated (indeed almost annihilated) ranks of the friends of her youth who could answer to the roll-call after the lapse of over ninety years; partly through the secluded manner of her life which gave her but little opportunity or inclination to form new acquaintances the circle of those who knew her in-timately is now an extremely limited one. I have therefore thought it best to introduce rather than to close her own story by a short sketch of her as she lived among us during the last thirty years. I hope thus to enable the reader better to read between the lines of this record of a quiet literary life. (SP)
