Excerpt from Life and Times of Sir Joshua Reynolds, Vol. 1 of 2: With Notices of Some of His Cotemporaries; With Portraits and Illustrations
But Mr. Leslie did not live to complete his labour of love. It soothed him under his last great grief - the loss of a beloved daughter - and it continued to occupy him till the last moment of his life. He wrote in pencil, or dictated parts of it from his death-bed; but with all his efforts, had only completed a small part of the biography for printing, and sketched out, or out lined, the remainder.
