Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mr. Froude and Carlyle
As a rule the names of those who supplied new material are not now given; but as names must often be given, at least in notes, in the final work, those who supply information and desire their names to be with held should inform the author of their wishes. Names which he is expressly requested or which he can guess he is expected to withhold, shall of course never be mentioned.
The author hopes that publicity will be given to his appeal for information by the courtesy of many editors.
Many footnotes have been omitted, to lighten the book. Perhaps what remain are enough.
The correction of proofs and the preparation of an index have perforce to be left to others, when half the convex world intrudes between the writer and his printers.
