Excerpt from Vanessa and Her Correspondence With Jonathan Swift: The Letters Edited for the First Time From the OriginalsOR the pleasure I have had in making F this book I am indebted to Mr. Robin Flower, of the Department of mss., British Museum, who indicated the manuscripts to me and suggested that I should edit them, and placed at my disposal the work he had done on them for the official Catalogue. The reader must participate in my gratitude to him for having corrected or confirmed my wavering interpretation of many difficult writings, checked my transcript and subse quently compared certain portions of the proof with the manuscript. His generous collaboration at all stages has enabled me to claim for the text of the letters here printed a degree of accuracy of which, but for associa tion with an expert, it would have been hard to feel satisfied. But in case subsequent transcribers should condemn my readings of carver in No. XLIV and tantony in No. Ii., I here proclaim my sole responsibility for them.My thanks are also due to Miss Lucy Broadwood for transcribing a letter in the library of Christ Church, Oxford to Dr. J.
