Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Letters of William Beckford of Fonthill Besides the material already accessible, though never before gathered together, 1 have been so fortunate as to obtain permission to include a very considerable number of letters, hitherto unpublished, written by Beckford between 1777 and 1844; that is to say, from his seven teenth to the last year of his long life. Beckford left his property to his surviving daughter, Susan Euphemia, wife of Alexander, tenth Duke of Hamilton; and, though his books and pictures have been dispersed, his correspondence and papers have been preserved in the Charter Room of Hamilton Palace. By the courtesy of the present Duke of Hamilton I have examined the letters and manuscripts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
