Excerpt from George Gissing: A Critical StudyI wish to thank Mrs. H. G. Wells, Mr. Thomas Seccombe, and Mr. George Whale for kind assistance in the preparation of the first chapter of this book. Mr. Seccombe generously allowed me to make use of his Introduction to The H awe of Cobwebs and to read both the ms. And proof of his article on Gissing for The Dictionary of National Biography. To him my thanks are chie¿y due. Mr. Whale, a friend of Cissing's from 1896 onwards, also made valuable sugges tions, While Mr. H. G. Wells and Mr. Austin Harrison have consented to the quotations from their essays upon Gissing. Responsibility for the Opinions expressed rests, however, with me alone, because the greater part of the chapter is founded upon a careful study Of Gissing's work. Mr. Rothenstein and Messrs. Constable have permitted me to reproduce as a frontispiece to the book Mr. Rothenstein's lithograph portrait of Gissing, and the various quotations appear.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
