Excerpt from The Pre-Raphaelite Comedy
Such a book as this must needs be largely based on the books of others. A list of those which have most helped me will be found at the end of the volume; but my in debtedness will be apparent on every page and where direct quotation has been made the source, unless quite obvious, has been acknowledged. I am aware that the footnote reference, except in works more learned than this, has lately fallen rather out of fashion; readers are supposed to find it, tiresome; but it seems to me difficult to avoid it altogether without laying oneself open to the charge of offending against literary morality.
