Excerpt from Cambridge RevisitedThese chapters, with two exceptions, were originally con tributed to the Cambridge Chronicle (several appearing concurrently in the Cambridge Daily News). The friendly criticism, encourage ment and offers of information which their appearance called forth came as an agreeable surprise to me, and, in consequence, I have been tempted to present them again to the public, after revision and with many additions, in a more permanent form.But for the constant encouragement of Mr Ambrose Harding, who has advised and helped me with the book in all its stages, and whose support I cannot hope adequately to acknowledge, this little volume would never have been written.To Mr A. T. Bartholomew I am also much indebted for reading these pages in manuscript and giving me valued direction. Mr A. H. Cook has added to the usefulness of the book by providing a good index, and has been indefatigable in clearing up difficult points of information.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
