Lear, E: Letters of Edward Lear -

. .

Résumé :
Excerpt from Letters of Edward Lear: To Chichester Fortescue, Lord Carlingford, and Frances Countess Waldegrave

The following letters date only from 1847, therefore a few pages of what is known of Lear's history and kindred before this period, will not come amiss in this introduction. There is a singular dearth of information on these points, considering the size of the family to Which Lear belonged. Of its representatives now I have only heard of one member in England, and that one was, I believe, a colonial born, and a sister's great-grandson.
