Excerpt from Joseph Skipsey: His Life and Work

Perhaps I should explain at the outset my object in writing the following Life of Joseph Skipsey. For forty years we were close friends, and a month seldom passed without our meeting. He was a constant guest at my house, and few events occurred to either of us which were not made known to the other. It is quite possible that the affection and esteem with which I regarded him may lead me to estimate him somewhat more highly than I ought to do, but I am not content that he should become a mere memory without giving those of his countrymen who may care to learn about him the opportunity of knowing who he was and what he did. The task which I have undertaken is not an easy one. To make a short sketch of a few pages would indeed be a light matter, and it probably would satisfy the great majority of those who wished to know anything about him, but to me it would be eminently unsatisfactory, and yet I feel that my power to reproduce in any worthy sense the man as he really was is quite inadequate. Amongst the many whom I have been so fortunate as to know who have achieved distinction in different walks of life, I do not think that I can recall one who struck me as distinguished in the same way as he was.
