Excerpt from The Marches of Wessex I am very grateful to friends for help: to Mrs. Ruth Williams for reading the manuscript and proofs and making suggestions, to Mr. F. Harcourt Kitchin (seduced from Devon for a few weeks) for a valuable, if painful, decimation of the manuscript, and to Mr. Cyril Hurcomb for reading part of the proofs, to my publishers, friends of old standing, for other suggestions as well as for their kindly practical interest, to Mr. Albert Rutherston for letting me use a delightful picture in which, as his original guide to West Dorset, I may claim almost a god-paternal interest, to Mr. Charles Aitken, keeper and fosterer of the Tate Gallery, for leave to reproduce Stevens' portrait of his benefactor, and for valuable suggestions, to Mr. Wilson Steer and Mr. Gwynne-j ones for the use of pictures of the county in which they, too, have been happy, and to Mr. C. J. Sawyer for finding and lending some engravings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
