PREFACE
MY best thanks are due to Mr John Murray for
allowing me to reprint those parts of the follow-
ing essays on Church, Froude, and Lord Morley,
which originally appeared in the Monthly Review.
I am also much indebted to Mr J. D. Milner of
the National Portrait Gallery for some help with
regard to portraits of Gibbon ; and to Lady
Margaret Cecil, Miss Froude, and Mr J. B. Rye,
in respect of the essay on Froude. I should
have wished to dedicate this book to Mr Herbert
Fisher as a small, though most unworthy, recol-
lection of his inexhaustible kindness to me both
as tutor and friend ; but I felt that he would be
too much out of sympathy with the tenor of it
to make this permissible, even had it not con-
tained a modest refutation of a passage in
a very ancient article of his, which Messrs
Langlois and Seignobos have unfortunately
drawn out of oblivion. A. C.
