Excerpt from The Poetry and Philosophy of George Meredith It is my first duty to acknowledge the help in composing this book which I have received from several quarters. I heartily thank those friends who have made suggestions to me in conversation; but more particularly those who have so kindly gone through the book in MS. or in proof; and most of all, Mr. Desmond MacCarthy for valuable additions to my ideas inserted wholesale, especially in the first chapter. But I am equally indebted, though in a different way, to two others, whose conversation has for several years been influencing my thought and feeling on the subjects here treated. I mean, first, Mr. Meredith himself, who has not, however, in the official sense 'inspired' these pages, or seen them before publication.
