Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The book demands little by way of preface save an expression of thanks to all who have so freely exposed their treasures for my selection. Nothing has been reserved except one lovely sonnet and certain translations from a very foreign tongue. This last omission I have endeavoured to supply. For the imperfect rhyme and for any other imperfection in this book I put forward as a reason, and offer as excuse, the place of my present abode and the nature of my employment. In particular, I have to acknowledge my indebtedness for leave to use copyright poems to the following: the Ruskin Trustees and their Publishers, George Allen Unwin, Ltd., for the quatrain by Ruskin ;M rs. Austin (A lfred A ustin) ;M r. Maurice Baring; the Very Rev. the Dean of Norwich; Mr. Mackenzie Bell (A. C.
