Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forty Years of Spy As unhappily is inevitable in this changing life, some of the friends mentioned in the ensuing narra tive have died during the period between writing and publication. Among those still living at an advanced age, however, I am glad to reckon Mrs. Attwell, the widow of my old schoolmaster, Professor Attwell: and I take this opportunity to express my deep regard for both of them, and appreciation of the happy time I spent at their school, Nassau House, Barnes. The publication of this book has been delayed by several causes - the war, and a very serious operation I had to undergo in the spring of 1915. I wish to express my grateful thanks to my friend, S. M. Ellis, who, during my illness, put into shape and corrected the proofs of the final chapters. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
