[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: Girvin Press], Preface THIS is the third and last selection from the papers contributed weekly to the New Statesman from its foundation in April, 1913, until January, 1920. One or two odd articles, published over my other name, that seemed to be akin to them are to be found amongst them. I have not made elaborate alterations to give them a false air of having been written yesterday. One at least, the article on John Clare, might have been altered very considerably owing to the recent discovery of many new poems by him. S. E.

There was one odd feature of this very odd book which escaped general notice, viz., the dedication. The author travelled entirely by night without a compass, steering entirely by the heavens. The result is the following dedication To THE NORTH STAR, whose guiding light marked the pathway to freedom for a weary fugitive, this book is inscribed in humble gratitude and abiding faith.
