Excerpt from A Group of Englishmen, (1795 to 1815): Being Records of the Younger Wedgwoods and Their Friends, Embracing the History of the Discovery of Photography and a Facsimile of the First Photograph

In writing the 'Life of Wedgwood,' the great English potter, I necessarily passed over many subjects of considerable interest. I indicated, rather than entered into, those relating to its close and to the contingencies and relations which stretched beyond. To have done justice to this rich material I must have carried my narrative beyond reasonable bounds; it therefore occurred to me to go steadily through the great mass of Wedgwood documents and select all which was of interest in relation to the period nearest to our own: namely, the three decades - 1795 to 1825. Hence the present volume. It concerns the sons of Wedgwood; but it concerns much more largely the eminent men who were their friends and contemporaries, in whose welfare they were interested and whose opinions they shared.
