_WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR_




PUBLISHERS' NOTE



In 1882, it was felt to be desirable that Mr. Harte's scattered work
should be brought together in convenient form, and the result was a
compact edition of five volumes. After that date, as before, he
continued to produce poems, tales, sketches, and romances in steady
succession, and in 1897 his publishers undertook a uniform and orderly
presentation of the results of more than thirty years of his literary
activity. The fourteen volumes that embodied those results were
enriched by Introductions and a Glossary prepared by Mr. Harte
himself.
