234.48.6.8 Subscription fund CHISWICK PRESS: CHARLES WHITTINGHAM AND CO. 63 PREFATORY NOTE. THE name of 'Side-Walk Studies' has been chosen for these papers, not because it accurately describes them as a whole, but because, besides supplying a general title, it fairly indicates the remoteness of the majority from the glitter and bustle of the more-frequented promenades of letters. With this explanation, they are commended to what the Vader Cats' of their final pages would call the Goetgunstige Leser Thanks are due to Messrs. Macmillan and Co., Messrs. J. M. Dent and Co., Mr. George Allen, and the proprietors of the National Review,' the 'Cornhill Magazine, the ‘Library,' and the 'Magazine of Art, for permission to reprint. It should be added that a portion of Dear Mrs. Delany' appeared in the Daily Chronicle, and is here reproduced with the consent of the Editor. August, 1902. AUSTIN DOBSON. |
