Of the formative process which gave birth to 'Inheritance' we hear nothing. The letters to Miss Clavering, now Mrs. Fletcher, came to an end, and there is no correspondent to whom Miss Ferrier discloses her literary schemes or reveals her best self. One need not suppose that the old frank and affectionate intercourse ceased.1 No doubt the circle into which Mrs. Fletcher's marriage brought her, one of earnest Whig politics, had no very great sympathy with Miss Ferrier's literary ambitions, and less perhaps with her habitual modes of thought and expression.2 And no one can study Miss Ferrier's character, as disclosed in her books and letters, and not see that she was a person with whom intimate confidence did not flow very easily, and that the stream which fed it might be easily dammed up or turned aside. And even if there was nothing in the nature of alienation, there was not the same motive for confidence. Miss Ferrier had learnt her methods and tested her strength, and had no longer the same need of a counsellor and a critic.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
Excerpt from Memoir and Correspondence of Susan Ferrier, 1782-1854: Based on Her Private Correspondence in the Possession of and Collected By, Her Grand-Nephew, John Ferrier Perrier of St. Andrews, and, therefore, grand-nephew of the novelist. To him also is due, with hardly any exception, the biographical matter contained in the notes and else where. My task has been confined to arrangement, in which I have been largely assisted by the advice Of Mr. Perrier, and to supplying the occasional comments which appear in the text. Mr. Perrier has elsewhere expressed our sincere thanks to the Rev. H. M. Pletcher for the kindness with which he has placed at our disposal the letters written by Miss Perrier to his mother. It is much to be regretted that many of Miss Perrier's letters can no longer be found. Especially unfortunate is the disappear ance Of a number Of very characteristic letters written to her intimate friend, Miss Anne Walker, Of Dalry. These are known to have been in existence not many years ago. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
