The History of Sir Richard Calmady is a poignant and thought-provoking work of fiction that continues to resonate with readers today.Yet when it arose, the crisis proved none the less agonising because of that foreknowledge. Two strains of feeling struggled within her. A blinding sorrow for her child, a fear of and shame at her own violence of anger. Katherine's mind was of an uncompromising honesty. She knew that her instinct had, for a space at least, been murderous. She knew that, given equal provocation, it would be murderous again.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
