So far as I have seen from the proof-sheets, about every event in Jean Armour's life has been chronicled, almost every phase of her character has been considered, by the writers whose contributions make up this interesting book, and so but little remains for me to say. Still I cannot forbear using the opportunity offered to me to lay a stone or two on the cairn which the world has raised, and is still, perhaps unconsciously, raising to the memory of Jean Armour. She was not a woman of genius, she never burned the midnight oil in search of knowledge, nor did she ever wrestle with rhyme, but no one can have studied the life of her husband without acknowledging that it was after her influence over him became supreme, after she was publicly installed as his wife - acknowledged mistress of his heart and hand - that his song attained its highest flights, its most prolific abundance.
