them speak their own dialect and reveal the local color and flavor of the particular Houses. I take this opportunity of acknowledging the multiplied kindnesses of many English and American residents, and the assistance of my friend and student, Mr. W. L. M. King, M. A., LL. B., of Toronto, whose aid in collecting and sifting material has been valuable. I was fortunate in having help in revising the notes from Professor Graham Taylor, D. D., Mr. Percy Alden, M. A., Miss Hannah Fox, Miss Bradford, Miss Holmes, and Mrs. Mitchell, in a delightful meeting at Chautauqua. None of these must be charged with my faults. C. R. HENDERSON. THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, April, 1898. INTRODUCTORY NOTE ΤΟ SECOND EDITION. (REVISED.) On the occasion of reprinting this pioneer sketch of the Settlement movement, the author is asked to make a few additions. It is not yet time for revision, and the text must stand as it is. Mrs. Montgomery's Bibliography may be used to bring up the facts to date, and the illustrations of the book will still have value as examples, although they may no longer represent present facts in the particular Settlements. The lists on pp. 31 and 43 were as correct as they could be made in 1898. A comparison with the list given by Mrs. Montgomery is instructive and encouraging, since it furnishes the indications of progress. THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, February 19th, 1902. |
