My father's literary work was entirely in connection with the publishing house in Albemarle Street, and that he wrote what he did was largely owing to Mr. Murray's influence. The republication of the Essays is therefore, in some sort, a memorial of the affectionate friendship of which they were in great measure the fruit. It is a personal pleasure that, in their new form, they link together the next generation of sons, who recall their own and each other's fathers with admiration.
