Excerpt from Aubrey De Vere, a Memoir: Based on His Unpublished Diaries and Correspondence The book is not, however, in the fullest sense a Biography. The limit of time prescribed by Mr. De Vere for its publica tion has made a full biography impossible. And I have not attempted to collect all his letters. I have drawn mainly on those which he had already collected himself, and was pre paring for publication when he died. These supply, however, as I hope, sufficient material for a true picture of the man. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
