The histories which follow have been obtained in various ways,
and are of varying degrees of value. Some are of persons whom I
have known very well for very long periods, and concerning whom I
can speak very positively. A few are from complete strangers
whose good faith, however, I judge from internal evidence that I
am able to accept. Two or three were written by persons
who--though educated, in one case a journalist--had never heard
of inversion, and imagined that their own homosexual feelings
were absolutely unique in the world. A fair number were written
by persons whom I do not myself know, but who are well known to
others in whose judgment I feel confidence. Perhaps the largest
number are concerned with individuals who wrote to me
spontaneously in the first place, and whom I have at intervals
seen or heard from since, in some cases during a very long
period, so that I have slowly been able to fill in their
histories, although the narratives, as finally completed, may
have the air of being written down at a single sitting.
