COLLECTION OF BRITISH AUTHORS TAUCHNITZ EDITION. VOL. 1926. LORD BRACKENBURY BY AMELIA B. EDWARDS. IN TWO VOLUMES. VOL. I. LORD BRACKENBURY 7230 A NOVEL BY AMELIA B. EDWARDS, AUTHOR OF "BARBARA'S HISTORY,' ""DEBENHAM'S VOW," PERSONAL. THE following appeared in The Academy, No. 424, June 19, 1880: To the Editor of the Academy. SIR, Westbury-on-Trim, Gloucestershire, Will you kindly grant me space to say-for perhaps the tenth time within the last twenty years-that my name is neither Betham nor Betham-Edwards; and that I am not related to the Betham family? It would greatly aid in establishing the necessary distinction between my cousin, Miss Betham-Edwards, and myself, if contemporary reviewers observed the hyphen which connects Miss BethamEdwards's two surnames. This they rarely do. In an article, for instance, which appears in the current number of The Academy, Miss Betham-Edwards is repeatedly styled Miss Edwards; whereas I believe I am the only writer to whom that name can be correctly applied. Finally, I may be permitted to point out that Miss BethamEdwards is the author of Kitty, Felicia, John and I, The Sylvestres, A Holiday in Western France, Forestalled, &c., &c.; and that the writer of Barbara's History, Debenham's Vow, Untrodden Peaks and Unfrequented Valleys, A Thousand Miles up the Nile, and other books which I need not here enumerate, is AMELIA B. (Blandford) EDWARDS. |
