Excerpt from George Meredith: His Life and Friends in Relation to His Work

I wish to thank the Duchess of Rutland, they artist, and Colonel J. G. Adami, A.D.M.S., the owner, of the fine pencil portrait of Meredith, which by their permission is reproduced in this work: the original drawing, I understand, is to find a place in the Art Gallery at Montreal. To the late Mr F. J. Williamson, the sculptor, I was greatly indebted for the contemporary photographs of Esher and Copsham as in Meredith's time.

For the loan of other illustrations, or help in many ways, I thank Mr A. St John Adcock, Mrs Banks, Mr F. B. Barwell, Mr Reginald Blunt, Mr G. Buckston Browne, Miss Hilda Chester, Mrs Clarke, Mr Herbert Cook (of Copseham), Mrs Arthur Croome, Mr A. T. Everitt, Mr J. J. Freeman, Mr H. M. Hyndman, the Rev. Dr F. J. Foakes Jackson, Mrs Frederick Jones (of Kingston Lodge), Mr J. Brooke Little, Mr L. J. Maxse, Mr A. Gordon Pollock, Miss Ella Pycroft, Mr Lionel Robinson, Mrs Ross, Miss de St Croix, Mr C. K. Shorter, the Lord Sterndale, Miss Tupper, the Rev. W. B. Vaillant, Mrs Woolf, Mr A. N. Bonaparte Wyse, and Mr and Mrs Ralph Wood (who so admirably preserve the amenities of Flint Cottage, Box Hill).
