Excerpt from Heralds of Revolt: Studies in Modern Literature and Dogma Though none of them appeared during the days, now far off, when Dr. William George Ward was in command of the Dublin, I cannot deny myself the pleasure of associating that brilliant and large-hearted memory with my selections from the Review in which I was first permitted to try my 'prentice hand. To Dr. Ward I owe a lifelong debt, which I have never forgotten. With equal gratitude I would recite another name, more widely famous, and very pleasant to me, -the name of Sir William Smith, who, from the beginning of our acquaintance in the Quarterly (which dates back to my considerations on Heinrich Heine reproduced here) down to the last moment in which he held the pen, allowed me every privilege, and gave me continual encouragement.
