It is from this final short list that the stories reprinted in this volume have been selected. It has been a point of honor with me not to republish an English story or a short story whose immediate publication in book form elsewhere seems likely. I have also made it a rule not to include more than one story by an individual author in the volume.

While I thus republish what I then said about such extravagances as occurred in these years, at the same time I have a very strong conviction that they furnished quite as much the welcome excuse for those who were jealous or shy of us, as the stumbling-blocks of those who were well inclined to our doctrines.

This book was so severely suppressed that its author searched in vain for a copy in order that he might republish it, and only the title of his work is known. Genoa too has its literary martyrs, amongst whom was Jacopo Bonfadio, a professor of philosophy at that city in 1545. His truthful records aroused the animosity of the powerful Genoese families.

I was grieved to see in the Daily News that the madman about the flat earth has been threatening your life. What an odious trouble this must have been to you. P.S. There is a most cutting review of me in the Quarterly: I have only read a few pages. The skill and style make me think of Mivart. I shall soon be viewed as the most despicable of men. This Quarterly review tempts me to republish Ch.

Did I tell you how much I liked a story in your third volume, "My Travelling Companion"? There is the same strength in it as "In the Steppe." If I were you, I would take the best things out of your three volumes and republish them in one volume at a rouble and that would be something really remarkable for vigour and harmony.

That great romance, "The Scarlet Letter," and these fine poets, for true poetry, not at all imitative, is rare in England, common as elegant imitative verse may be, and that charming edition of Robert Browning. Shall you republish his wife's new edition? I cannot tell you how much I thank you.

It is a great problem, this accumulation of literature; and it seems to me a very irrational thing to do to republish the complete works of old authors, who perhaps, in the midst of a large mass of essentially second-rate work, added half-a-dozen lyrics to the literature of the world. But surely it is time that we began to select?

All of the tales have appeared in magazines and journals namely, 'The National Observer', 'Macmillan's', 'The National Review', and 'The English Illustrated'; and 'The Independent of New York'. By the courtesy of the proprietors of these I am permitted to republish. HARPENDEN, HERTFORDSHIRE, July, 1892.

Ward, with his usual courtesy to intellectual antagonists, had corresponded with Fitzjames, in whose writings he was much interested. He now challenged his opponent to republish a paper upon 'necessary truths, which had been read to the Metaphysical Society. Fitzjames accordingly reproduced it with a comment, and Ward replied in the next number.

When I went to the Hall the next morning, I never witnessed such a scene of devastation as the White Lion exhibited; every window and window frame was destroyed, and there remained only so many holes in the walls. However, as I mean to give a faithful history of this election, I cannot do better than to republish three letters addressed at the time to the Electors of Bristol, by Mr.
