| The Story of Shoreham has been written during the somewhat scanty leisure of the past few years. I am conscious that, whatever measure of success it may meet with, will be due in no small degree to the clever pen-work of Mr. Arthur B. Packham, whose pictures illustrate its pages, and to whom I am indebted for many practical suggestions and much valuable assistance. |
