Excerpt from Patrick BronteWrites Thackeray, to whose genius Charlotte Bronte was devoted, and whom she named as the first social regenerator of the day, a Titan in intellect How well I remember the delight and wonder and pleasure with which I read Jane Eyre, sent to me by an author whose name and sex were alike unknown to me, and how, with my own work pressing upon me, I could not, having taken the volumes up, lay them down until they were read through.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
