For criticism of The Faith Healer see The Nation, vol. 88, pp. 175-76, Feb., 1909, Hampton's Magazine, Vol. 24, pp. 561-65, April, 1910. Criticism of The Great Divide is found in The Nation, Vol. 89, p. 387, October, 1909, and by B. R. Hertz in The Forum, vol. 43, pp. 90-92, Jan., 1910.

Mrs. Moody has kindly revised the text of the edition of 1912 for the present editor, who gratefully acknowledges her courtesy in obtaining for him the right to reprint the play and for valuable biographical information.
