Excerpt from Life and Letters of Hannah E. Pipe It is for them, for her old pupils and for their children, that the book has been written, and from the larger public I would venture to ask indulgence for its shortcomings, on the ground that it is primarily intended for those who knew and loved her, and therefore contains details and reiterations which they will pardon, and it may be, even value. Miss Pipe was my friend for forty years, and it is to this fact that I owe the request of her executors that I should undertake the editing of her Life and Letters. The task has been lightened by their sympathy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
