A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

With the delivery of Vol. XXVIL, containing the story of St. I ves, the Edinburgh edition of Mr. Stevenson sworks is completed according to promise. His Executor and Editor have every reason to be gratified with the success of their scheme, and it has occurred to them that a small supplementary volume or A ppendix, added gratuitously by way of bonus, and in acknowledgment of the support and appreciation which the edition has received, may not be unwelcome to subscribers. Suck a volume is accordingly herewith presented (bid with no pledge, it should be understood, that copies on other paper and in another binding may not also be offered for sale to the general public.) It is a medley, made up of items some serious and some trifiing, which for one reason or another were not included in the main edition. A mong them are things which various subscribers have already expressed a desire to possess. Stich are The Charity Bazaar ;the two papers on Lighthouse Illumination and The Thermal Influence of Forests ;and the sets of cuts and verses done and printed to amuse the writer and his young stepson at Davos. The first-named of these, which opens the volume, is a boyish skit privately printed on a charity occasion at Edinburgh, I believe in 1868, and in its original form has for some time been a rarity competed for by collectors. The two second were contributed to the Transactions of the Royal Scottish Society of Arts for 1871 and the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh for 1873 respectively. They are not literature, and do not proceed from any natural bias of the writers
