RITCHIE, ANNE ISABELLA (THACKERAY) lady (MRS RICHMOND RITCHIE). From friend to friend. *$2.50 Dutton
(Eng ed 20–8889)
“‘From friend to friend,’ a little volume of recollections by Thackeray’s daughter, Lady Ritchie, edited by her sister-in-law, Emily Ritchie, has just been published. Lady Ritchie met many of the most interesting people in England in the course of her long life, which covered the period from 1838 to 1919, and in this little book she has ranged far back into the past and given glimpses of her father, of Tennyson and his wife, of Mr and Mrs Browning, of Adelaide Kemble and many others. There are anecdotes of Thackeray in his younger days, when he was beginning to write and wishing rather to paint, and later on when he was in the full tide of literary production.”—Springf’d Republican
