Richard Steele (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Richard Steele As the authorities upon which the following memoir is based are generally indicated in its pages, and any new facts which it contains are sufficiently announced in the text, it is unnecessary to do more here than make one or two indispensable acknowledgments. My sincere thanks are due to the Duke of Marlborough for his kindness in granting me access to those MSS. at Blenheim which relate to Steele, and to the Earl of Egmont for permission to transcribe the valuable letters of Bishop Berkeley to Sir John Perceval, quoted in Chapter VI. Among many friends who have aided me with advice or suggestion I must specially record my obligations to the late Mr. Edward Solly, who not only placed his unique eighteenth-century library at my service, but also gave me the benefit of his own indefatigable research and scrupulous accuracy.
