Page xiii Acknowledgments This book could not have been written without the help of many persons. Foremost, I wish to thank the Houghton Library of Harvard University and the Bodleian Library of Oxford University for courteously providing me with microfilm of their Godkin holdings, indispensable because of Godkin's almost undecipherable handwriting. Of the many fellow scholars who aided me, four stand out: James M. McPherson and Martin Duberman took time to extend me favors beyond the demands of academic courtesy, mainly through supplying me with mentions of Godkin in their notes from the correspondence of others, and I deeply thank them. The late Allan Nevins, a long-time admirer of Godkin, on short notice generously put aside an evening to discuss him with me, besides faithfully answering my questions by mail. Lastly, D. S. Porter of the Division of Western Manuscripts of the Bodleian Library, Oxford University, went out of his way to answer my many inquiries and to facilitate my acquisition of Godkin materials from that institution. To a larger assembly of scholars I owe more than perfunctory thanks for patiently answering my queries or sharing with me their knowledge in person. They are Hans Trefousse, Louis Filler, Nathan Smith, Richard B. Hovey, Alan P. Grimes, Robert Muccigrosso, Richard E. Welch, Leon Edel, Arthur P. Hogue, Gordon Milne, Michael Burlingame, George Arms, Morton Keller, Elizabeth Wallace, John K. Reeves, Frederic C. Marston, and J. Albert Robbins.
