Vernon Lee

The Countess of Albany Vernon Lee

In preparing this volume on the Countess of Albany (which I consider as a kind of completion of my previous studies of eighteenth-century I taly), I have availed myself largely of Baron Alfred von Eeumont slarge work Die Grdfin von Albany (published in 1862); and of the monograph, itself partially founded on the foregoing, of M. St. Een6 Taillandier, entitled La Comtesse d Alhamfy published in Paris in 1862. Baron von Eeumont stwo volumes, written twenty years ago and when the generation which had come into personal contact with the Countess of Albany had not yet entirely died out; and M. St. Eene Taillandier svolume, which embodied the result of his researches into the archives of the Mus6e Fabre at Montpellier; might naturally be expected to have exhausted all the information obtainable about the subject of their and my studies. This has proved to be the case very much less than might have been anticipated.
