The following chapters are reprinted from articles which, with three exceptions, appeared in the National Review. The chapter upon 'Huxley' appeared in the Nineteenth Century; that upon 'Milton' in the Quarterly Review; and the chapter 'In Praise of Walking' in the Monthly Review. I have to thank the proprietors of these periodicals for permission to republish them.
