Of Late Years It Has Been My Fate Or My Whim To Write A Good Deal
About The Early Days Of The Praeraphaelite Movement, The Members Of
The Praeraphaelite Brotherhood, And Especially My Brother Dante
Gabriel Rossetti, And My Sister Christina Georgina Rossetti. I Am Now
Invited To Write Something Further On The Subject, With Immediate
Reference To The Praeraphaelite Magazine "The Germ," Republished In
This Volume. I Know Of No Particular Reason Why I Should Not Do This,
For Certain It Is That Few People Living Know, Or Ever Knew, So Much
As I Do About "The Germ,"; And If Some Press-Critics Who Regarded
Previous Writings Of Mine As Superfluous Or Ill-Judged Should
Entertain A Like Opinion Now, In Equal Or Increased Measure, I
Willingly Leave Them To Say So, While I Pursue My Own Course None The
Less.
