Excerpt from In Praise of Ale: With Some Curious Particulars Concerning Ale-Wives and Brewers, Drinking-Clubs Guildhall Library has laid me under lasting obligations, as has also the late Mayor of Dorchester, Alfred Pope, Esq. Last, but not least, a tribute of thankfulness from every bookmaker and reader at the British Museum is due to the officials of that noble Institution, from the Head of the Staff to the youngest member thereof. I have been a reader for many years and have always received the greatest courtesy and assistance from all, and this is the more marked, inasmuch as I am scarcely known, individually, even by name to any one of them. All the virtues of this book, therefore, do not belong to me, though, unquestionably the faults do. Trusting, therefore, that the public and my friends will - "Be to its virtues very kind, And to its faults a little blind," I launch the venture on the wave of public opinion to sink or swim on its own merits. W. T. M. Balham, January 1888. P. S. - I began collecting material for the following work years ago; and in May 1884 commenced a series of article in the "Burton Chronicle." This series ran about twelve months, and is embodied in the present work. During the time this hook has been passing through the press I have seen from reviews that two scholarly books - "The Curiosities of Ale" and "Beers of the Bible" - have appeared. I have carefully avoided reading either of them. When three writers take up a similar subject they must necessarily traverse the same ground to a great extent; and though I might have enriched my pages at their expense by "conveyancing," I trust I have avoided any charge or even suspicion plagiarism.
