Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Theodosia, the First Gentlewoman of Her Time: The Story of Her Life, and a History of Persons and Events Connected Therewith The biographer or historian must have the help of others. His work is not one of imagination, but the recording of facts - or what are deemed to be such. In books, magazines, newspapers, official records, old letters, family Bibles, and many other receptacles, are stowed away the material that he needs. How can he unlock these treasure-houses? Only by the help of those who know where they are, or who possess them. In the preparation of this work, I have had aid from hundreds of sources. My own reading and investigations have been supplemented by the willing assistance of many who have sent me books, newspapers, clippings, and photographs. To enumerate them all would require pages of this volume; their names, however, may be found in the ´Personal and Topical Index´ which forms part of Chapter XX. To those who have courteously allowed the use of copyrighted material, my special thanks are due. My intention has been, in all such cases, to give credit in connection with the article or illustration. If any omission has been made, I shall deeply regret it. Few books, if any, are perfect, and this one may contain errors of omission and commission; but, I trust, after due allowance is made, that the reader will admit that new and convincing material has been discovered; that many errors have been corrected; that many harassing doubts have been set at rest; and that I and my assistants, in the words of an old writer, "have endeavored well."
