Excerpt from The Life of Sir James Fitzjames Stephen, Bart;, K. C. S. I., A Judge of the High Court of Justice I have especially to thank Sir H. S. Cunningham and Lady Egerton, Lady Stephen's brother and sister, for per mitting me to read my brother's letters to them, and for various suggestions. Some other correspondence has been placed in my hands, and especially two important collee tions. Lady Grant Duff has been good enough to show me a number of letters written to her, and Lady Lytton has communicated letters written to the late Lord Lytton. I have spoken of these letters in the text, and have in the last chapter given my reasons for confining my use of them to occasional extracts. They have been of material service.
