The Idols was originally published in the Journal de Genève of December 10th, 1914, and translated in The Cambridge Magazine of February 6th, 1915, where it had been preceded by two other articles similarly translated—Above the Battlefield (Nov. 14th), and Inter Arma Caritas (Jan. 30th).
The translator wishes to record his indebtedness to Dr. Raffaello Piccoli, to Miss I. Turner, of Newnham College, and to Mr. B. W. Downs, of Christ’s College, for assistance in the preparation of the English version for the press.
