Book Memoir of Fleeming Jenkin Robert Louis Stevenson

Download or read book Memoir of Fleeming Jenkin Robert Louis Stevenson written by Robert Stevenson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-02-25 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the death of Fleeming Jenkin, his family and friends determined to publish a selection of his various papers; by way of introduction, the following pages were drawn up; and the whole, forming two considerable volumes, has been issued in England. In the States, it has not been thought advisable to reproduce the whole; and the memoir appearing alone, shorn of that other matter which was at once its occasion and its justification, so large an account of a man so little known may seem to a stranger out of all proportion. But Jenkin was a man much more remarkable than the mere bulk or merit of his work approves him.

Henley, the last of whom may have provided the model for Long John Silver in Treasure Island.
