Richard Lovell Edgeworth (1744 1817) was a noted Irish
educationalist, engineer and inventor. This two-volume
autobiography, begun in 1808, was published in 1820. Edgeworth had
abandoned the project in 1809, having covered the period to 1781,
and it was completed after his death by his eldest daughter, a
successful novelist. Maria Edgeworth and her father had co-authored
educational works, and the experience of helping her father run
their estate during her teens had provided material for her novels.
Volume 2 of these memoirs was wholly written by her, though it
contains excerpts from Richard's correspondence. It recounts how,
after his third marriage, the growing family returned to Ireland,
and focused first on domestic and educational concerns. Richard
became involved in Irish politics and the newly founded Royal Irish
Academy but continued to publish essays on scientific and
mechanical topics, as well as influential (though controversial)
works on education.
