6 VARIETIES IN PROSE BY WILLIAM ALLINGHAM VOLUME I RAMBLES BY PATRICIUS WALKER PART I LONDON LONGMANS, GREEN AND CO. AND NEW YORK: 15 EAST 16th STREET All rights reserved IT INTRODUCTION T is by my Husband's wish that I publish this collected edition of his prose writings. Many of the 'Rambles' and some of the Essays have previously appeared, in whole or in part, at different times. All of them were arranged and prepared for publication by my Husband shortly before his death, and they now go forth exactly as he left them. My warmest thanks are due to our old friend, MRS. ALEXANDER CARLYLE, for her valuable help in reading the proof sheets, and seeing these volumes through the press. HELEN ALLINGHAM. |
