It is hoped that in most respects this volume on The English Essay and Essayists will sufficiently explain itself. But there is one point with regard to which a word of explanation may perhaps be necessary. There is in English a great mass of literary criticism, of which much the greater part is in the form of essays. If these critical essays had been here treated in accordance with their intrinsic importance, they would have filled much more space than has been given to them. In this present volume, therefore, author purpose has been to touch upon the subject as lightly as the nature of author own task permitted.
