Alice James was the sister of the famous James brothers--Henry, the novelist; and William, the philosopher; and her Diary is a remarkable addition to the records of a famous family. The early part of the book is taken up by a long Introduction which sketches in the background of the family, and includes family letters which have not appeared before.
