L. Poole's Catalogue of Oxford Portraits. The Toronto artist, J. W. L. Forster, painted three different portraits of Goldwin Smith as an octo- genarian. One of these was commissioned for the Goldwin Smith Hall at Cornell, a second for the National Club in Toronto, where it still hangs, and the third remained at the Grange, where it is now in the collection of the Art Gallery of Toronto. A death mask of Goldwin Smith by the Canadian sculptor, Walter Allward, is in the collection of the Art Gallery of Toronto. I am grateful to the University of Toronto Press for a very pleasant collaboration in preparing this volume for publication, and also for permission to reprint here some sentences from articles of mine in the University of Toronto Quarterly and the Canadian Historical Review. I am also indebted to the University of Chicago Press for permission to use portions of an article of mine published in the Journal of Modern History, and to the American Historical Association for allowing me to use passages from an article which appeared in the American Historical Review. I wish also to express my gratitude to the University of Toronto and to the Rockefeller Corporation for grants which helped me to complete this work. The manuscript has been read by Professor Vincent Bladen, Dr. Eugene Forsey, and Professor F. H. Underhill. I am most grateful to them for their generous expenditure of time and their helpful sug- gestions. Above all, I am indebted to Professor Alexander Brady, who first suggested the subject, who read many rough drafts, and whose advice and criticism at every stage has been invaluable.
