should write exactly in the manner of those two giants of English literature. What is more surprising is that, himself surprised and encouraged by the success of "Joseph Vance,' he should have continued to write, till his dying day at an advanced age, other worthy novels, the manuscripts of which are here offered. It is related that when Joseph Vance" was offered to William Heinemann, the publisher was appalled at this mass of hand-written manuscript, and insisted that it must be typewritten before he could consider it. Accordingly, the manuscript was sent to a professional typist, who soon reported that her girls spent their time in laughing and crying over the manuscript, instead of typing it. Heinemann hesitated no longer, and accepted and published the book, which met with an instantaneous and world-wide success.]
