Excerpt from The History of the Life and Times of Edward the Third, Vol. 1 of 2
In conclusion, I must tender my sincere thanks to various friends to whom I am indebted for much valuable aid. To mention them by name would give me great pleasure, but my doing so might seem like a shrinking from responsibility and a wish to shelter myself from censure under the shadow of authorities that would carry more weight than any statement or Opinion of my own. They will, I am sure, appreciate my motives, and accept this recognition of their assistance, accompanied by my most hearty thanks for their kindness in giving it.
