The Life of William Morris, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from The Life of William Morris, Vol. 1

This biography was undertaken by me at the special request of Sir Edward burne-jones. I will not attempt to say how much it owes to his guidance and encourage ment, nor how much it has lost by their removal. When the task of writing the life of Morris was placed in my hands, his family and representatives gave me un reserved access to all the materials in their possession. To them, and more especially to his executors, Mr. F. 8.

Ellis and Mr. S. C. Cockerell, I owe my best thanks for their friendly help. I am further indebted to Mr. Ellis for the index at the end of the book.
