Preface.

In the following pages no attempt has been made to add to the manycritical works authors bring under the notice of the public. My aim inthis collection of leisure-hour studies is to afford entertaining readingon some topics which do not generally attract the reader’s attention.

It is necessary for me to state that three of the chapters were originallycontributed to the columns of the Chambers’s Journal, and by courtesy ofthe Editor are reproduced in this volume.

William Andrews.
