Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Edward A. Freeman, D. C. L., LL. D, Vol. 1 of 2
It is much to be regretted that his correspondence with some of his oldest friends has, from various causes, been lost, but a vast residuum of letters remained, which have been placed at my disposal, and I venture to hope that the careful selection which I have made from them will serve to bring out in their truest colours all the most striking features of his strong and original character.
In the collection of letters and other biographical materials I received invaluable assistance from Mr. Free man's eldest daughter, the late Mrs. A. J. Evans. Never was a daughter fonder or prouder of a father than she was never did a daughter labour more assiduously than she did to help on the work which was to perpetuate her father's memory. It has been a sad thought to me in writing the following pages that they will not be read by one who took such a deep interest in the preparation for them.
