Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Character and Comedy
HE Essays that make up this volume have been collected by permission from various periodicals. My Cousin the Bookbinder ap peared in the Cornhill Magazine: the others in the Outlook, T. P.'s W eekly, the County Gentleman, and the Academy. In almost every case I have altered and expanded the text, I hope for the better. The second half of the book consists of a selection from an epistolary series that ran through Punch, which the proprietors kindly allow me to reprint here.
