Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Coke of Norfolk and His Friends, Vol. 1 of 2: The Life of Thomas William Coke, First Earl of Leicester of Holkham, Containing an Account of His Ancestry, Surroundings, Public Services Private Friendships,& Including Many Unpublished Letters From Noted Men of His Day, English American "The life, the almost patriarchal life, of a man like Lord Leicester," says a writer of an obituary notice in 1842, "extending as it did over a vast portion of the most interesting and important periods of our history, is so interwoven with national events in which his active mind could not fail to take a conspicuous part, that, whether regarded as the Senator the friend and companion of those illustrious men who long since preceded him into the world of spirits, the consistent advocate of all that he deemed right and virtuous in high places, or the prince of landlords and farmers, rich and abundant matter is reserved for the pen of his biographer; and these materials I do earnestly hope to see, by suitable hands employed, worthily to honour the name and hallow the memory of Coke of Holkham." With regard to the non-appearance of that expected biography, I feel that a brief explanation is necessary. It is still a matter of comment, and in a former generation it was one of constant surprise that no life had been published of a man of such world-wide reputation as "Coke of Norfolk."
