Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters of Rachel, Lady Russell, Vol. 1 A new edition of the Letters of Lady Russell is here presented to the world. It is unnecessary to dilate on the merits of letters which have been long familiar to the public. Those merits are separate and distinctive; the letters are not letters of business connected with great poli tical events; they are not letters of wit and humour written to show the talent of the writer; they are not, alas! The overflow of a heart at ease, playful and sparkling, or mingling with smooth flow in the current of the world. The Letters of Lady Russell, as originally published, contain but one topic and one resource that topic the judicial murder of her husband - that resource the strength of a soul sustained by all the fortitude of a. Heroine, and chastened by all the piety of a saint. This edition will contain, besides the letters of that melancholy period, those of a time of wedded joy, few in number indeed, but valuable, as showing how deep was that happiness which the tyranny of a voluptuous king broke into and destroyed.
