The Life Of Gerald Griffin By His Brother Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Life of Gerald Griffin: By His Brother I have many apologies to offer to the public, for the serious interruptions and delays which the following Memoir met with in its progress through the press. These were principally owing to the pressure of professional avocations, generally of a very distracting character, and so constant in their operation as to give the nature of a task to that which would otherwise have been a pleasing relaxation. The same circumstances have, I Also fear, affected, in no inconsiderable degree, the manner in which the work has been executed, I cannot help thinking there is but little of a brother's partiality in the opinion, that it was a noble subject for one who had the ability to do it justice.
