Life Of John Holland Of Sheffield Park

Reprint of the original, first published in 1874.

Excerpt from The Life of John Holland, of Sheffield Park: From Numerous Letters and Other Documents Furnished by His Nephew and Executor, John Holland Brammall In recording my estimates of his Character, productions, and influence, I have conscientiously exercised my best judgment; and I am now perfectly content to accept the results. This, however, I cannot write, without recording the feeling that if more time could have been devoted to the work, it might have been greatly improved. It will be observed that the mottoes prefixed to the successive chapters are from Mr. Holland's own pen, and are generally more or less autobiographical. They have been selected as positive contributions towards the general design of the book, as well as with reference to the particular Chapters themselves.
