Excerpt from Essays and Addresses In making this selection I have had more than my own preference to guide me. Some time before his death, when broken health had left him little heart or strength for sustained work, my father spent some of his leisure in gathering up his essays and addresses for publication.

Memory, in such matters, soon becomes treacherous, but there was no need to trust to it, for among my father's papers I found a plan, roughly drawn, of more than one possible collection. His scheme must have been on a larger scale than mine, for the shortest of his lists would fill two volumes, and the longest three or more. I have taken the papers to which he gave the foremost place. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
