I send you a bookEditorial Note: Contarini Fleming: A Psychological Romance by Benjamin Disraeli (1832) selected from my little library - not Uncle's Tom's CabinEditorial Note: Uncle Tom's Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly by Harriet Beecher Stowe (1852) - Which by the way I have - but one I particularly admire. Perhaps it will not please you There is nothing like the rush of mighty waters, or the "struggle with a snowstorm" but a serene moral beauty, pervades the real fiction. Here let me say. Tis a truth told in fiction, the actual personification of the Author's life (or a part of it) in that of the chief character. Flemming.Editorial Note: This is a reference to Contarini Fleming: A Psychological Romance by Benjamin Disraeli (1832)
