Finally, we would like to thank Frau Gertrud Mertins, Secretary

whose difficult task it has been to translate the letters and documents
faithfully from German, French and Italian, and not least Messrs
Barrie and Rockliff, who have spared no effort to make this book as
attractive as possible and to meet all the editors' wishes.
