NOTE

Lovers of Mr. Hewlett’s work will understand that these Essays havenot been subjected to the severe revision which Mr. Hewlett wouldundoubtedly have given them before publication in this book. In one ortwo minor points his Executors have felt doubtful about the deletionor insertion of a passage, but in these cases the decision has alwaysbeen the same—that his readers would prefer to have the Essays in Mr.Hewlett’s original form.

Thanks are due to the editors of “The Times” and “The EveningStandard”; “The London Mercury,” “The Cornhill Magazine,” “TheNineteenth Century,” and other periodicals, for permission to reprintcertain of these Essays.
