Excerpt from Charles Reade as I Knew Him
The reader who expects to discover herein an erudite disquisition on Charles Reade's literary achievements is recommended to turn to the Encyclopedi?.
It is hoped, however, that he who desires to see the man "in his habit as he lived" may find the following narrative not altogether destitute of interest
"Good wine needs no bush" and the autobiographical portion of the work may be left to speak for itself.
For the rest -
"Never anything can be amiss
When simpleness and duty tender it";
hence I lay this cluster of "forget-me-nots" on the graves of those whom I loved while living, and whom I mourn now they are dead.
