Excerpt from An Anthology of Prose Verse: With a Foreword by Edmund Gosse

Lastly, I cannot adequately thank my father's old friend, Mr. Edmund Gosse, for the foreword he has contributed and also for his kind advice. Without his promise of assistance, I should have felt some hesitation in attempting to prepare this volume which Mr. I. M. Dent, in view of his many years of friendship and happy association with my father, was desirous of bringing out as a tribute to his memory.
