~---~-~~--~~------~----~ FOREWORD.
The history of a given period is not e.xclusively,or even rr..ainly, the history of its famous men and women. The real history of the past lies in the ans·wer to the question., 11 How did the ordinary, . undisting'..lished man 1ive? 11 ~t Numerous recent publications such as the Far:llgdon Diaries suggest that ~n this resnect a welcome reorientation of the historians -- perspective has taken place,and it is with a view to providing poste1•ity with an addition to such all teo scanty material, that the papers which follow have been embodied in a permanent form. A word of explanation as to the origin of these papers is needful. on the 25th-. of September I929, at Strandtovm near Bel .fast; in the . I County of Dow-11,there died one·i;lrun€irr~]f§~.t Lewis,leaving two sons, , ':'farren9 a. Captain in the .Arm:y,and Clive,a Fellow of Magdalen Collegel: Oxford; the nature of the sons occupations precluded e:ny idea of I! either of them :maintaining thetl!' .father 1 s home, and in its subsequen·i dissolution, a mass of papers crone to light$ a cursory inspection o:r , 1 ·which seemed to indicate that the~~ was in them ·the kernel. o:f a . 1 family history. 1 The papers were given to the present writer to sirt,and as a result: of that siXting, were round to fall into the .following cla..ssificatio1!
A~ Seven leather bound di~~ies in the handwriting of Albert's 1, father in law,the Reverend Thomas Ha:rnilton,covering,with o:mmissions.\ the pez·iod I850.:_I8681 and an eighth volume containg a theo~ogics.l · essayo B~ Thirteen volumes of dairies by Warren Lewis,covering$with n~ny ommissions~the period I9I2-I930. c~ Eight volumes of dairies by Clive LewisJa1so with ommissions~ covering the period I922-I926a . [ n~ A number of short fragments of diaries By Albert Lewis and Cliver Lewis of va:t•ious datesll I E. A quantity of unsorted papers by Albert's father 111 Richa:t~d Lewis_, 1. ·which the former had presumably brought j_nto his houae. on the break up of his own old home in I903. F" A la1~ge mass of: letters v;ritten to and by Albe~t f':r·om the late 'sev•::::rrl~ies up to the time of his death,. together with a miscellaneou;l collect:ton of veree and other fugitive pieces. T'.nis ls by fal" the \ most important part of the collection,fu'1d is more complete than sucl; collections usually are, by reason of the fact that Albert freq;u.entl:i kept drafts of the whole or part of his prlvate letterso In some i cases 1ve have the drafts and the original letters, a'tld a comparison shows them to be practically identical; I have therefore not hesitated to use his drafts as if' they were the originals,but where: a draft is used, the fact is aliHays nentioned in the texta ivo It remains but ·to add a word ab_out the rules which I have set mvself in arranging these papers~~t 'i~:e order of their presentation is chronological, with such· r:·~odification as connnon sense dictated; eego 1 Thmmas Hroniltonts essay~ 11 1Nhat saith the Sc:riptures?:r,though written in I870,is ::.:nclucled with his diaries1 althoughtthe subsequent chapter opens in I858. Si:mile.rly the Alb!:.n•t-Edie love let.ters are :r•eproduced ~s a story within a story in one group 9 though probably covering a :number of years. :::xcept where otherwise :?tated, spelling mistakes have been correct -ed, so far as lies in my power1 and punctuation has been inserted ··:here necessary., ··11.ere I have been u..11.able to dec~.c.&r the text, I have indicated tbe fact thus:-"(illegible)it v'Vhere there is a·blank in the text, this indicates a blank in the original MS. ·-,·i th r•egard to ommissions,nothing has been excised except such medical and other intimate details in certain letters as are · :.:;9narally deemed u.nfi t for publication. "nerever possible I have drawn on various members of the family to supply from personal recollection,connecting links in the ··n.'itten material; such contributms are generally,f'or obvious reasons,anon~us,but I have taken such steps as were possible to :.Jci.. tisfy myself of the acctiracy of their information before using i te . .. . _ . _ . I have avoided burdening the text with lengthy prolegomena and e.x,9l~.ation of matters of public knowledge; to those who wish to read the memoirs with a commentary1 I recommend Treve17ran'a 11 3ritish History in the Nineteenth CenturyDI782-I90I. 1 (Longmans~ Green and Co. 1 I922~)
