Excerpt from H. G. Wells: Personality Character Topography The present volume has, I am fully aware, no claim to be considered a complete study of all the writings of H. G. Wells, for the pro duction Of such a volume would demand far more time, detail, and learning than have been at my disposal. My object has simply been to present a portrait of Mr. H. G. Wells (it is because he is a man Of such immense importance and not for want of courtesy that I have dropped the Mr. Throughout the book), and to present some of the main points Of interest in his life and work in a form that will appeal to the man in the street who, like myself, may lay no claim to any specialised knowledge Of the author, but who nevertheless is desirous Of knowing something about a writer who looms so big and ubiquitous in the present day world Of letters. Such success as I may have achieved in this direction is due in no small measure to the kind assistance and advice which I have received from almost all whose help I have sought in collecting information for the following pages.
