CASTLE RACKRENT
by Maria Edgeworth
With an Introduction by Anne Thackeray Ritchie
[Note: The body of this novel contains a lot of footnotes
and many references to the Glossary at the end. The
footnotes (which are sometimes quite long) have been
inserted in square brackets near to the point where they
were referred to by suffix in the original text. The
entries in the Glossary have been numbered, instead of being
listed with a page number as they were in the printed book;
they are also referenced with a note in square brackets near
the point where there was a suffix in the original.
Italics have been replaced by capitals.
The pound sterling symbol has been replaced by 'L'.
This text and the Introduction were taken from an edition
published by Macmillan and Co. in 1895.]
INTRODUCTION
I
The story of the Edgeworth Family, if it were properly told, should be
as long as the ARABIAN NIGHTS themselves; the thousand and one cheerful
intelligent members of the circle, the amusing friends and relations,
the charming surroundings, the cheerful hospitable home, all go to make
up an almost unique history of a county family of great parts and no
little character.
