Description
Excerpt from A Cotswold Family: Hicks and Hicks Beach
IT will be obvious enough to anyone who reads it, that A Cotswold Family could never have been written unless I had made myself troublesome to a great number of people; but When I look through its pages I realise that a list of all those to whom my thanks are due would be an endless one. Two people, however, must be named. Without the invaluable help of Miss Ethel Grogan, the documents in the Record Office and the British Museum could never have been deciphered by me and gratitude to Viscount St. Aldwyn for his careful criticism and his corrections of details must certainly be recorded.
To Hicks and Hicks Beach ghosts I offer an apology for all that I have said about them Which is wrong headed or unskilful; to the present Hicks Beach generations I apologise for all that I have left unsaid; and to Hicks Beach posterity I make the promise that I Will try to leave behind me material sufficient to carry on the story from the point I have left it off.
