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.
H. B. W.
