From the Introduction by the Author: 'I have expanded the original volume of Selected Essays by including a few essays from the now superfluous Essays Ancient and Modern. There remain several uncollected papers which I am disposed to preserve, as well as a number of unpublished lectures, on matters connected with the art of poetry, which await-their final form. But Selected Essays is already bulky enough; and any literary essays which are not to be found in it must abide their collection into another book. On reviewing the contents of this book, I find myself at times inclined to quarrel with my own opinions, and more often to criticise the way in which they were expressed. For myself this book is a kind of historical record of my interests and opinions. As one grows older one may become less dogmatic and pragmatical; but there is no assurance that one becomes wiser; and it is even likely that one becomes less sensitive. And where I have adhered to the same opinions, many readers may prefer them in the form in which they were first expressed.'. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 14229
