Although there is no heading, the account originates at ARW’s London publisher Swan Sonnenschein & Co. Ltd., founded in 1878 by William Swan Sonnenschein (1855-1931), a son of Adolphus Sonnenschein, a teacher and writer originally from Moravia, and his first wife Sarah Robinson Stallybrass. Owing to hostility to Germans during the First World War William Swan Sonnenschein changed his surname to Stallybrass for the remainder of his life, as did some of his family. The author is presumably a relative of the founder.
