Excerpt from Letters of George Meredith, Vol. 1 of 2: Collected and Edited by His Son; 1844 1881
The Letters of George Meredith here broughtitogether have been printed first and foremost for his friends, and this fact must explain whatsoever may appear illogical, superfluous, and maybe obscure in this book. The collection is not meant to form a narrative of his life, nor indeed does it profess to be complete. Many of his intimate friends, and a large number of his letters to them, do not for various reasons appear at all here. Very few letters, for instance, of the many written to Cotter Morison are available, the majority having been most unfortunately destroyed. Those written to Lionel Robinson, to Stephen Hamilton, and to Maurice Fitzgerald, if any indeed exist, are inaccessible, and few letters to Arthur Cecil Blunt and many others can be found. To the friends of his later years his letters were always rare: thus none appear to Lord Haldane, though a frequent visitor to Flint Cottage, and hardly any exist to John Deverell, a friend of long standing and one of his executors, or to Colonel and Mrs. Lewin.
