Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Marches of Wessex
I am very grateful to friends for help: to Mrs. Ruth Williams for reading the manuscript and proofs and making suggestions; to Mr. F. Harcourt Kitchin (seduced from Devon for a few weeks) for a valuable, if painful, decimation of the manuscript, and to Mr. Cyril Hurcomb for reading part of the proofs; to my publishers, friends of old standing, for other suggestions as well as for their kindly practical interest; to Mr. Albert Rutherston for letting me use a delightful picture in which, as his original guide to West Dorset, I may claim almost a god-paternal interest; to Mr. Charles Aitken, keeper and fosterer of the Tate Gallery, for leave to reproduce Stevens' portrait of his benefactor, and for valuable suggestions; to Mr. Wilson Steer and Mr. Gwynne-j ones for the use of pictures of the county in which they, too, have been happy; and to Mr. C. J. Sawyer for finding and lending some engravings.
