Alice James, Her Brothers, Her Journal Edited With an Introduction (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Alice James, Her Brothers, Her Journal: Edited With an Introduction As the quotations in the Introduction are so largely taken from unpublished family letters, the reader has not been cum bered with notes which he would be unable to verify. Where reference has been made to other books, they are named in the text. A few citations have been taken from the Collected Let ters of William James and of Henry James and thanks is made to mr.-henry James 3d. For his permission to use them and to reprint the page of praise which prefaces the Journal. The Editor, indeed, has much gratitude to express for many kindnesses in connection with the work. To Miss Katherine Loring, first and foremost, by whose piety the Journal was originally preserved, she owes warm thanks, for personal inter est as well as for the picture of Alice James' last years of life. To Mr. Edward Holton James, thanks are due for letters and material. Thanks also to Mr. Garth Pierpont James for per mission to use his grandfather's letters from Florida.
