R. Maddicott. It was he who suggested to me the subject of Stapeldon and who directed the doctoral research on which this book has been based. His supervision, scholarship and unfailing kindness have been a constant support. I am grateful to Professor Ullmann for including this book in his series. Professors Christopher Cheney and Christopher Brooke have given generously of their time, learning and encouragement. Michael Prichard has aided me through some of the legal undergrowths. I am greatly indebted to Robert Williams for his advice and friendship. My thanks are due to the Master and Fellows of Gonville and Caius College, who elected me into a Research Fellowship in 1977 and the stimulus of whose friendship and conversation I have been privileged to enjoy ever since. My mother has painstakingly typed my manuscript in its many drafts. Without the constant affection and confidence of her and my father this book could never have been written.
