Excerpt from Books and Things: A Collection of Stray Remarks When last I printed a collection of papers which had been already exposed to the notice or indifference of my contemporaries, I was careful to apologise for so doing. But the critics took, for the most part, so kind and encouraging a view of the proceeding that now, si celeres quatiunt pennas, so to speak, if they think I go too far, I must say they have themselves to blame for my persistence. "The Provincial Mind" appeared in the Quarterly Review, The Times has allowed me to use material contributed to its literary supplement in the articles on Don Juan, Sterne, and Fielding, I reprint a few short articles from the Academy, and some lengthier efforts from the Fortnightly Review and the Pall Mall Magazine.
