Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of Robert Louis Stevenson, Vol. 1 of 2
Many persons, both friends and strangers to me, have rendered my task far easier than l could have hoped. There is hardly one of Stevenson's intimate friends but has helped me in a greater or less degree, and if l were here to repeat my thanks to all to whom l am indebted for information, i should have to record more than sixty names. Those to whom we owe most are otten those whom formally we thank the least; and to Mrs. Steven son and Mr. Lloyd Osbourne 1 can never express my indebtedness for their suggestions and their knowledge, their confidence, their patience, and their encourage ment. But, of course, for everything that is here printed l alone am responsible.
The references to Stevenson's writings are necessarily to the pages of the Edinburgh Edition, as being the most complete English collection of his works.
