NOTE

Certain of these pieces have appeared already in the following periodicals:—The English Review, The Saturday Review, The Eye-Witness, The Westminster Gazette, and The Pall Mall Gazette. One of the Songs was printed for the first time in an anthology called Cambridge Poets. I am indebted to the editors of these for permission to reprint them here.
