PREFATORY NOTE


On behalf of the English Association I beg to thank the writers of these Essays and Studies for their gifts.

It will be understood that each writer is solely responsible for his own paper, and is responsible for it alone.

We hope that similar collections will follow annually.

A. C. BRADLEY.
