Présentation de l'éditeur

My thanks are due to the Editors of The Oxford and Cambridge Review (in which the majority appeared), The Nineteenth Century, The Fortnightly, and The National Review, for leave to reproduce articles which they respectively published, and to the Editor of The Times for permission to reprint the letter contained in the A ppendix. Papers written under these circumstances are necessarily fugitive, but these are collected in the hope that they have not yet exhausted their short space of life. Mr Maurice Woods has given me much assistance in preparing the book for the press, and Mr Cyril Potter has been good enough to draw up the I ndex. F. E. SMITH.
