Excerpt from The Life of John Bright The pleasure of writing a biography is dependent on three things the sympathy of the biographer for his subject the interest of the new material Which he has to handle and his relations to those Who have honoured him by trusting to him the memory they revere. In all three respects I have been most fortunate, and Wish to express my gratitude to the family and relations of J ohn Bright, Who have smoothed the path for me by forbearance, by encouragement, and by much active help.
