Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Alfred Ainger
The only reason for writing any preface to this little volume is that it provides me with a means of giving thanks to those who have helped me by criticisms and suggestions, and by their memories of Canon Ainger. I therefore take this occasion of expressing my great gratitude to Mr. Birrell, to Dr. Ward (master of Peterhouse), to Mr. Gosse, to Mr. Horace Smith, to Mr. R. C. Browne, to Mr. Birdwood, to Canon Beeching, and to Mr. E. V. Lucas, for the valuable assistance they have given me.
I have also to convey my thanks to those who have enabled me to print so many letters from Canon Ainger, as well as some written to him; and in this connection I should like to acknowledge the courtesy of Mr. A. C. Swinburne in allow ing me to publish a letter written by himself.
