Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Letters of Ambrose Phillipps De Lisle, Vol. 1 of 2 When, therefore, it pleased the eternal Author of Life to call away Mr. Purcell before his work was completed, it devolved upon me to finish what he had begun, and to carry out my dear mother's last wishes according to the agreement I had arrived at'oi'vith Mr. Purcell in her lifetime. Another death, deeply to he deplored, has also taken place since these pages began to come into being, of one who looked forward, perhaps more keenly than any man in England, to their publication - 4 mean that of the great leader of the Liberal party, who for so many years enjoyed the admiration of the whole world as being amongst the greatest and most Christian-minded of England's Prime Ministers. Mr. Gladstone's many letters will alone assure a cordial welcome to this work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
