Excerpt from Recollections of Writers

A portion of these "Recollections" appeared in the Gentleman's Magazine; but appeared there in imperfect form. They were written by the author-couple happily together. One of the wedded pair has quitted this earthly life; and the survivor now puts the "Recollections" into complete and collected form, happy at least in this, that she feels she is thereby fulfilling a wish of her lost other self.

The earliest and best of these "Recollections" (the one on John Keats, written entirely by the beloved hand that is gone) gave rise to the rest. Friends were so pleased and interested by the schoolfellow's recollections of the poet, that they asked for other recollections of writers known to both husband and wife.
