Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Toilers of the Field
All the papers in Part II. Have appeared in Longman's Magazine, since J efl'eries' death, and though they are with one exception very slight, yet they are all characteristic speci mens of his work. From internal evidence it appears certain that the longest of them, entitled The Coming of Summer, was written on June 1, 1881, and the subsequent days. It contains one or two points of resem blance with the famous Pageant of Summer, which appeared in Longman's Magazine for June 1883. It was perhaps the first study of which that paper is the finished picture. The frontispiece is reproduced by kind permission of Mr. J. Owen of Salisbury, from a photograph taken by him of Miss Thomas' bust of Jefi'eries in Salisbury Cathedral.
