Excerpt from Memoirs of William Beckford of Fonthill, Vol. 2 of 2 The valley of Collares seems to have been a spot which afforded Mr. Beckford a high sense of delight. His health improved every day during his rides among the vicinity, that, as he expressed it, "called forth the liveliest sense of existence." He was not of a robust constitution, although his flow of nervous energy must have been considerable. Slender rather than stout, he had nothing of weight or muscular power in his frame or appearance.

Excerpt from Memoirs of William Beckford of Fonthill, Vol. 1 of 2 IT was naturally to be expected that before this time some remembrances of one of the most re markable men of his day would have appeared in an authentic shape. Every hour after the death of the individual carries into oblivion some trait of character or peculiarity which distin guished him from other men. Delay in such cases is dangerous. If, said a distinguished writer, a life be delayed until interest and envy are at an end, we may hope for impartiality, but must expect little intelligence; for the incidents which give excellence to biography are of a vola tile and evanescent kind, such as soon escape the memory, and are rarely transmitted by tra dition.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
