PREFATORY NOTE

Tƒŧ studies in this book are chosen from a number written at irregular intervals, and from sheer interest in their subjects, long ago.

Portions of them, or rough drafts of what has since been wholly remodelled from fresher and fuller material at first hand, have appeared within five years in The Atlantic Monthly, Macmillan’s, The

Catholic World, and Poet-Lore; and thanks are due the magazines for permission to reprint them. Yet more cordial thanks, for kind assistance on biographical points, belong to the Earl of Powis; the

Rev. R. H. Davies, Vicar of old St. Luke’s, Chelsea; the Rev. T. Vere

Bayne, of Christchurch, and H. E. D. Blakiston, Esq., of Trinity

College, Oxford; T. W. Lyster, Esq., of the National Library of Ireland;

Aubrey de Vere Beauclerk, Esq.; Miss Langton, of Langton-by-Spilsby; the Vicars of Dauntsey, Enfield Highway, and Montgomery, and especially those of High Ercall and Speke; and the many others in

England through whose courtesy and patience the tracer of these unimportant sketches has been able to make them approximately lifelike.
