Another collection of my essays, written from time to time and published indifferent journals. I am greatly delighted to find that my Anthology of Essays is going into the hands of learned scholars and students of English. I have nothing to record here in particular except that these essays are not "loose sally of the mind", but products of deliberation and experience. They carry my own views, and I don’t think I am indebted to any writer, ancient or modern, for the enunciations. The learned readers will find that these essays sometimes vary in style and approach. This is quite natural as I have grown up in years and my experience has also grown up. Nevertheless, these essays are now in the hands of the literary community of readers and I hope they will not fail to oblige me with their criticism.
