For permission to quote those passages from Ford Madox Brown’s diary still in copyright, I wish to thank most sincerely Mrs Imogen Dennis, Mr John Lamb, Mr Harold Rossetti, and the Lady Stow Hill for giving me this authority, as well as the Directors of the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, and the Pierpont Morgan Library, New York, owners of the diaries, for making them available to me.
Once again, as in the past, my debt to Mr John Gere is great. As mentor and critic he has catechized, advised, and helped me immeasurably and I welcome this opportunity of renewing my thanks.
To Miss Mary Bennett I owe much for having willingly shared with me her knowledge of the diarist while completing her own catalogue raisonné of his works, and I should like to record how invaluable her catalogue to the Ford Madox Brown exhibition at Liverpool, 1964 has been to me.
In addition I wish to thank most particularly Mr Herbert Cahoon, of the Pierpont Morgan Library, for his sympathetic consideration of my enquiries; and in the same context Mr David Brown, Miss Eileen Gainfort, Mr Jeremy Maas, Lady Mander, Miss E. Mitchell, Mr and Mrs Harold Rossetti, Mr Christopher Tower and Mr Clive Wainwright. I have been fortunate in the help of Mrs Elizabeth Bonython, Mr John Christian, Mr John Constable, Mr Fred Davis, Professor W.E. Fredeman, Mrs J. Hancock, Miss Diana Holman-Hunt, the Rev. W.G. Knapper, Mr Lionel Lambourne, Mr Michael Lang, Miss Elizabeth de Leeuw, Miss Valerie Lloyd, the Rev. Prebendary Harold Loasby, Miss Glenise Matheson, Mr David Muspratt, the late Professor W.D. Paden, Colonel R.N. Seddon, Mr Peyton Skipwith, Mr M.G. Smith, Mr A.J. Tibbles, Mr Julian Treuherz, Miss K.J. Wallace, Mr Stephen Wildman, Major-General C.G. Woolner. Also the staffs of Bruce Castle Library, Haringey, the Local History Museums of Blackheath, Finsbury, Hendon (where Mrs J. Corden gave me great assistance), Holborn, and Swiss Cottage, and the Public Libraries of St Pancras, Huntingdon, and Rothesay, Isle of Bute.
The following have kindly granted me permission to quote from unpublished material in their possession: the Huntington Library, San Marino, California, the Pierpont Morgan Library, New York, and the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. I have been allowed to quote from the first two volumes of the Letters of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, ed. O. Doughty and J.R. Wahl, Oxford at the Clarendon Press, 1965; Angus Davidson Edward Lear, John Murray Ltd, London, 1968; Munby, Man of Two Worlds, ed. Derek Hudson, 1972, John Murray Ltd, London; Sublime & Instructive; ed. V. Surtees, 1972, Michael Joseph Ltd, London. I wish to thank the publishers for their courtesy.
