Jenkin and his wife met Stevenson when he was an engineering student and aspiring poet. "It was the beginning of a friendship marked by admiration and affection on their side but something like idolatry on Louis's . Greater even than his intellectual impact on the young Louis was his moral influence: he taught the young man not to strive for effect as a critic and instead to aim for integrity" McLynn pp. 37-8.<br/><br/>Stevenson "found the writing of the memoir difficult doubtless because of the complex emotions involved: work proceeded slowly McLynn p. 249. He completed the manuscript at Bournemouth in June 1887 just after his father's death. They left England in late August and stayed in Saranac Lake from October until April 1888. The preface to the American edition is dated October 1887 at Saranac. <br/>Uncommon inscribed. Prideaux 25 Charles Scribner's Sons unknown books
