Frederick James Furnivall - A Volume of Personal Record #267245

When Doctor Furnivall died, it was felt that some tribute should be paid to a great man and his influence, apart from appreciations Of his literary work. For his seventy-fifth birthday at Miscellany was published, in which the scholars of the world did honour to their great inciter. The present volume is intended to enshrine varied recollections of him gathered from amongst all of his friends. The proceeds of the volume are to go to the Furnivall Sculling Club. If ever proof were required of how deeply the Doctor's lovable nature was loved, the readiness of the response, the eager Offers of help, the willingness to join in the work, would be ample evidence. If we were to try to give individual mention to all of those who did their utmost, each in his own way — the Doctor's kin, proof-readers, editors, distributors, booksellers, typists, artists, clerks, &c. — to make this volume as worthy as it can be of the man it is to record, the list would be too long for publication here. We simply thank them for showing how the Doctor's Spirit has animated them all.
