DEDICATION

My Dear John Berwick,

When you read her history in MS. you thought well of "Stella Fregelius"
and urged her introduction to the world. Therefore I ask you, my severe
and accomplished critic, to accept the burden of a book for which you
are to some extent responsible. Whatever its fate, at least it has
pleased you and therefore has not been written quite in vain.
