Excerpt from Richard Weaver's Life Story: Edited by James Paterson When I looked through the materials entrusted to me, I was greatly delighted at the discovery that it would be possible for me to allow Weaver himself, in his own way, to tell the larger part of his life-story. I noticed, however, that if I adopted that plan, it would take me over the same ground that Mr. R. C. Morgan, of The Christian, has travelled over in his "Life of Richard Weaver." But I must either do that, or issue a Life that was rather a supplement to Mr. Morgan's than an attempt at a complete Life. I resolved to aim at completeness; and I therefore proceeded as if there were no account of Weaver's wonderful life already in the field. I have done this with Mr. Morgan's consent and approval. When dealing with Weaver's account, I have kept to his words and style as rigidly as possible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
