Introductory statement.
I desire to express my thanks here to
Harper & Brothers, of New York, for permission to use letters already published in the “Autobiography and correspondence of
Lyman Beecher.”
I have availed myself freely of this permission in chapters i. and III.
In chapter XX.
I have given letters already published in the “Life of
George Eliot,” by
Mr. Cross; but in every instance I have copied from the original Mss. and not from the published work.
In conclusion, I desire to express my indebtedness to
Mr. Kirk Munroe, who has been my co-laborer in the work of compilation.
