Synopsis

Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Alfred Ainger

The only reason for writing any preface to this little volume is that it provides me with a means of giving thanks to those who have helped me by criticisms and suggestions, and by their memories of Canon Ainger. I therefore take this occasion of expressing my great gratitude to Mr. Birrell, to Dr. Ward (master of Peterhouse), to Mr. Gosse, to Mr. Horace Smith, to Mr. R. C. Browne, to Mr. Birdwood, to Canon Beeching, and to Mr. E. V. Lucas, for the valuable assistance they have given me.

I have also to convey my thanks to those who have enabled me to print so many letters from Canon Ainger, as well as some written to him; and in this connection I should like to acknowledge the courtesy of Mr. A. C. Swinburne in allow ing me to publish a letter written by himself.

I therefore take this occasion of expressing my great gratitude to Mr. Birrell, to Dr. Ward (M aster of Peterhouse), to Mr. Gosse, to Mr. Horace Smith, to Mr. R. C. Browne, to Mr. Birdwood, to Canon Beeching, and to Mr. E. V. Lucas, for the valuable assistance they have given me. I have also to convey my thanks to those who have enabled me to print so many letters from Canon A inger, as well as some written to him; and in this connection I should like to acknowledge the courtesy of Mr. A. C. Swinburne in allowing me to publish a letter written by himself. My thanks are no less due to Messrs. Murray, and to the Editor of the Quarterly, for consenting that I should embody in this book some parts of an article, Canon A inger, which I wrote for that periodical in January 1905; and to Messrs. Macmillan for giving me permission to make use of extracts from Canon A ingers published works. Also to Miss Johnston, who has allowed me to reproduce the photogi-aphs privately taken by her the two of Alfred A inger in his youth, as well as the one of his father. February 11, 1906.
