Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Letters of John Richard Green
Narratives in explanation of Green's position during successive periods of his life. These are chie?y founded upon information given by Mrs. Green. She took down some autobiographical reminiscences from her husband's lips; she is in possession of various note books containing a fragmentary diary, and other jot tings which illustrate his position; and she collected information from his friends and family. The last part of my narrative embodies, as will be seen, in formation which she alone could have given. She has, moreover, supervised the whole work, and made many invaluable suggestions and corrections. Although therefore I am responsible for all that I have said it will, I hope, be clearly understood that any gratitude which may be due for the help afforded towards an appreciation of the letters is due mainly to her. I have also been helped in my task by articles con tributed by Mr. Bryce to Macmillan' Magazine of May 1883 by Mr. Philip Lyttelton Gell to the Fortnightly Review of May 1883 by the late H. R. Haweis to the Contemporary Review of May 1 88 3 by E. A. Freeman to the British Quarterly of July 1883; by the Rev. W. J. Loftie to the New Princeton Review of November 1888; and by Mrs. Humphry Ward to the Associate (published for the Passmore Edwards Settlement of October 1898. Mr. Humphry Ward and Professor Boyd Dawkins have kindly entrusted me with manuscript reminiscences; and I have especially to thank Professor' Boyd Dawkins for other help of various kinds.
