"You are much more respectful to our love of reading than we are to it ourselves but we are grateful. The copy of Life came, almost as we did, and then the Blake Catalogue and the envelopes. Certain of the facts that Mr. Newton presents here in the Introduction make the life and the work of Blake more poignant than ever, and the reproductions, together in this way and so accessible, reveal much that we had never noticed."
