PREFACE
Reading edition
THE essays and stories contained in this book are reprinted for the greater part from the Morning Post, by whose kind permission I have been allowed to republish them here. My thanks are also due to the Editor of the Oxford and Cambridge Review for permission to republish the article on Andreev’s Life of Man; and to the Editor of that brilliant but too short-lived periodical the Ne Plus Ultra (published at Eton), for allowing me to make use of a story called “The Amorphists,” which appeared in its columns. My thanks are due to Mr. H. Belloc, who kindly read the proofs of this book for me.
