Excerpt from Samuel Butler Author of Erewhon: The Man and His WorkI have first of all to thank Mr H. Festing Jones for help and suggestions on many points in the pages that follow. My thanks are due also to Mr R. A. Streat feild, Samuel Butler's literary executor, and Mr A. C. Fifield, the publisher, for permission to make quotations from Butler's works, and to Mr Bernard Shaw for kindly lending me the manuscript of an unpublished paper on Charles Darwin which I have made use of in Chapter IV. The Bibliography at the end of the book has been compiled with the help of The Bio graphical Statement in The Notebooks of Samuel Butler, and revised and enlarged by Mr Festing Jones and Mr A. T.
