Excerpt from A Lover of Books: The Life and Literary Papers of Lucy Harrison This book was intended primarily for Lucy Harrison's old pupils and personal friends, but it is hoped that as the record of the life and thought of a woman of rare quality of mind and spirit, it may be of interest to a larger circle of readers. The Memoir has been written by Amy Greener, her de voted and beloved friend for many years. Valuable help has been given by Lady Macdonell, Miss Harrison's sister, and also by the various friends whe have kindly lent letters for publication. It is to be regretted that many letters written to sisters and old friends, which would have been of great interest for the present purpose, have not been preserved. Thanks are due to the Editor of The Vineyard for permis sion te print two papers contributed to that magazine, to the Editor of The Friend, from which two Reviews are reprinted and extracts quoted, and to the Editor' of The Friends' Quarterly Examiner for the Review of Professor Bradley's Shakespearean Tragedy.
