The Morris Book, Vol. 4

Excerpt from The Morris Book, Vol. 4: With a Description of Dances as Performed by the Morris-Men of England Pressure of literary and other work has unhappily prevented Mr. Macilwaine from taking any part in the compilation of the present volume, for the contents of which, therefore, I alone am responsible. His enforced withdrawal has been a great deprivation and I have felt very keenly the loss of his advice in the writing of the book as well as of his assistance and companionship in the practical work of collection. I would willingly have left his name upon the title page. But to this Mr. Macilwaine would not agree and I felt compelled, though with great reluctance, to respect his wishes. The partnership has been a very pleasant one, certainly to me and I believe to him also, and I can only deplore the circumstances which, for the moment at any rate, have led to its dissolution.
