Preface
After long delay, this small work has been completed only
through the devoted assistance of sons and daughters. So I
begin by acknowledging my debt to Marian Holland McAl­
lister, to Anesia de Araujo Holland, and to Lawrence Rozier
Holland for all they have done to compensate for lost eye­
sight. Thanks are also owing to the Bryn Mawr College
Library and its staff; to my friends Mrs. Virginia Jameson
and Mrs. Shirley Mason for providing transportation when
I could no longer drive a car; to George Dimock and his
family at Smith College who know the secret of banishing
despair; to the T.R.S. Broughtons at Chapel Hill; and to
Lily Ross Taylor held always in loving memory.
