Excerpt from Memoir and Letters of Sara Coleridge, Vol. 1 The difficulty which must attend on all such under takings as that on which I have been engaged, in editing the letters of my Mother, is rather increased than diminished by that very quality which constitutes their peculiar charm, I mean their perfect genuineness and life-like reality.
