Présentation de l'éditeur
My thanks are due in the first place to the Rev. W. F. Rickman, the grandson of John Rickman, for his goodness in placing at my disposal the bulk of the correspondence which is in his possession. Without his kindness this book would have been impossible. To John Rickman sgranddaughter, Miss Lefroy, I am also very deeply indebted. She has allowed me to reproduce a unique sketch made by her mother, to draw upon her mothers very interesting reminiscences, and to use some other letters of her grandfathers which are in her possession. I wish to thank Miss Warter for permission to give extracts from unpublished letters of Southey s, Mr. E. V. Lucas and Mr. Gordon Wordsworth for permission to print a long letter from Lamb to Rickman, Messrs. Macmillan Co. for permission to use letters which appeared in Mrs. Sandford s Thomas Poole and his Friends, and H.M. Office of Works for the loan of a photograph. Leave to publish the Coleridge letters was given by Mr. Ernest Hartley Coleridge. I also mention that two articles by me, based on the letters, appeared in Blackwood s Magazine this year, and that for the political history I have received great assistance from vol. xi. of The Political History of England.
