Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Balfour Lectures on Realism: Delivered in the University of Edinburgh
Although the Memoir is not a long one, the number of those who have helped in its preparation is very considerable. The contribution of those who have placed letters at my disposal will be estimated by the reader of the Memoir itself; but I wish to express my Special indebtedness to Mr Norman pringle-pattison and other members of Professor pringle-pattison's family who have given the most generous assistance; to Mrs John maccunn, Mr J. B. Capper and Mr R. P. Hardie for valuable information and other help; and to Mr William Menzies for the account of the St Andrews professorship which forms the greater part of Chapter V. I am also greatly indebted to Mrs Edgar Dugdale, who has given on behalf of the late Earl of Balfour's literary executors permission to make free use of the correspond ence extending over many years between Lord Balfour and Professor pringle-pattison; and I would extend not less hearty thanks to Miss Haldane for similar per mission to use letters to and from Viscount Haldane, and to Mrs de Glehn and Mr R. C. Bosanquet, who have kindly allowed me to include in Chapter XI. Unpublished letters of great value from Mr F. H. Bradley and Professor Bernard Bosanquet respectively.
