Description:Excerpt from The Reminiscences of the Right Hon. Lord O'brien (of Kilfenora): Lord Chief Justice of Ireland It is a matter of sincere regret to me that an apologia for inadequacy should preface this volume, which, as an autobiographical work, is incomplete and fragmentary. I acted as my father's amanuensis, and each evening used to bring him the manuscript, saying, "Shall we work a little to-night?" To which request, when we first undertook the book, he would assent. Alas! as the days passed by, the answer, "Not to-night, I am too tired," became more and more frequent, until at last there came an evening when he said: "You will have to complete the book alone, unaided by me; I can work no more. I have every confidence in you." I had hoped that the writing of his reminiscences would provide him with an interesting pastime, instead of which it soon became evident that speaking of his early days saddened him. For one who had been so full of life and buoyancy, so vigorously alive, it was a sore trial to spend the days in an arm-chair, enfeebled by age and ill-health, conscious that the tide of life was slowly ebbing. Truly has Dante said: "Nessun maggior doloreChe ricordarsi del tempo feliceNella miseria." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
