Transcriber's note
This electronic edition is intended to contain the complete, unaltered text of the first published edition of Gilbert Keith Chesterton by Maisie Ward (New York: Sheed & Ward, 1943), with the following exceptions:
The index, and a few other references to page numbers that do
not exist in this edition, have been omitted.
Italics are represented by underscores at the beginning and
end, like this.
Footnotes* have been placed directly below the paragraph
referring to them and enclosed in brackets.
[* Like this.]
Any other deviations from the text of the first edition may be regarded as defects and attributed to the transcriber.
