To the Memory

OF A LIFE-LONG FRIEND

DANBY PALMER FRY

(late Legal Adviser to the Local Government Board)

I dedicate this little book as a slight expression of the debt of gratitude I owe to him, and of the great loss I, in common with all his friends, have suffered by his death.

I especially wish to associate his honoured name with this book because he took the greatest interest in its evolution, and I have had the benefit of his acumen and wide knowledge in the consideration of most of the subjects discussed in its pages.
