Of the Essays in this volume βAdventures among Books,β and βRabβs Friend,β appeared in Scribnerβs Magazine; and βRecollections of Robert Louis Stevensonβ (to the best of the authorβs memory) in The North American Review. The Essay on βSmollettβ was in the Anglo-Saxon, which has ceased to appear; and the shorter papers, such as βThe Confessions of Saint Augustine,β in a periodical styled Wit and Wisdom. For βThe Poems of William Morrisβ the author has to thank the Editor of Longmanβs Magazine; for βThe Boy,β and βMrs. Radcliffeβs Novels,β the Proprietors of The Cornhill Magazine; for βEnchanted Cigarettes,β and possibly for βThe Supernatural in Fiction,β the Proprietors of The Idler. The portrait, after Sir William Richmond, R.A., was done about the time when most of the Essays were writtenβand that was not yesterday....FROM THE BOOKS.
