We would like to thank Lieutenant-Colonel Jeremy Metcalfe, OBE, for his kind help and cooperation in giving us access to the papers and pictures of his forebear Lewis Way. Mrs Mary David and Anne David were also most helpful in letting us see Lewis Way’s Tracts and the story books and drawings of the Way children on their Grand Tour. We very much appreciated the help and cooperation of Dr C. M. Woolgar, Head of Special Collections at the Hartley Library at University of Southampton, Julia Walworth, Fellow Librarian of Merton College, Oxford, Sue Stafford of the Gloucester Genealogical Society, Roger Bettridge, Buckinghamshire County Archivist, our fine editor Lucasta Miller, and Simon Cox and his camera.
