Notes and Queries, a collection published by Spurr & Swift, 1926.
Ornaments in Jade, title of a collection of Machen’s essays and stories published in New York in a limited edition by Knopf, 1924.
Precious Balms, a collection of criticisms of the work of Arthur Machen, collected by Machen and published in London in a limited edition in 1924.
Prefaces, written especially for the Knopf editions in the early 1920s. Most of them are rather autobiographical, all of them are authentic “firsts”. The Knopf books containing these prefaces are: The Three Impostors, The House of Souls, The Hill of Dreams, Dr. Stiggins, The Anatomy of Tobacco and possibly one or two others. The Introduction to THE SHINING PYRAMID, which refers to the Starrett collection of the same name, was presumably written for the London Edition, published in London by Secker, 1925.
Prefaces: Machen wrote a number of introductions, prefaces and forewords for various books, translations, etc. The professional collector and bibliographer would be inclined, no doubt, to treat these in a different manner. For our purpose we find it sufficient to list them as follows under this heading:
Ghost Ship, The, by Richard Middleton, London, 1912.
Pageant of English Landscape, G. A. Dewar, London, 1924.
Afterglow: Pastels of Greece Egypt, M. S. Buck, London, 1924.
One Hundred Merrie and Delightful Tales, translated by R. B. Douglas, Carbonnek, 1924.
