Synopsis
Excerpt from Suvorof
I am much indebted. I am even more obliged to Mr. Edmund Harris, in whose house I lived. His own library was very useful, and his natural hospitality seemed to be only aggravated by the triple alliance against him of pneumonia, extortionate demands from his workmen, and a civil war in which his house played an involuntary but conspicuous part. I regret that his recent death in exile prevents me from giving him a copy of the book. I never knew a man who bore with more fortitude and sweetness of temper the blows of a remorseless fortune.
