Excerpt from Mrs. Gaskell and Knutsford Edna Lyall, who very kindly wrote an introduction to the first edition, has since passed away, but her influence for good will long remain. With regard to Knutsford being the original of Cranford, my friend, Mr. W'. B. Tracy (who has also passed away), put the matter most aptly in a very kind review of my book, which appeared in Lancashire F aces and Places, when he said, speaking of drawing from the life, When a writer sits down to meditate and write, and the mental constituents he represents gather about him, the pleasures of memory and the tempering of genius are the chief factors in the subsequent work. In the Cranford Notes which I have added to this edition, I have tried to show that Knutsford was the old ancient place which people smile about when they read Cranford.
