The majority of the letters, and the sketches which accompanied\u003cbr\u003ethem, were sent to the author's family; others have been kindly lent\u003cbr\u003efor this memoir by Mr. William Clough, Mr. Locker-Lampson, Mr.\u003cbr\u003eWhittenbury, and other friends. Acknowledgments are also due to the\u003cbr\u003epublishers who have lent engravings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the desire of Mr. Caldecott's representatives,--to whom the author\u003cbr\u003eis indebted for extracts from diaries and other material--the\u003cbr\u003econsideration of his later work is reserved for a future time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough the text of this book is little more than a setting for the\u003cbr\u003eillustrations, it is hoped that the material collected may be found\u003cbr\u003einteresting.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147785257200,"sku":"2940015505993","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015505993","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
