It has been thought that all the works published under the names of Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell, were, in reality, the production of one person. This mistake I endeavoured to rectify by a few words of disclaimer prefixed to the third edition of Jane Eyre. These, too, it appers, failed to gain general credence, and now, on the occasion of a reprint of Wutbering Heigbts and Agnes Grey, I am advised distinctly to state how the case really stands.

Indeed, I feel msyself that it is time the obscurity attending those two names - Ellis and Acton - was done away. The little mystery, which formerly yielded some harmless pleasure, has losr its interest; circumstances are changed. It becomes, then, my duty to explain briefly the origin and outhorship of the books written by currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell.
