Three of our present collection, printed by arrangement, appeared in the
London (1898) edition of "The Open Boat and Other Stories," published by
William Heinemann, but did not occur in the American volume of that
title. They are "An Experiment in Misery," "The Duel that was not
Fought," and "The Pace of Youth."

For the rest, "A Dark Brown Dog," "A Tent in Agony," and "The Scotch
Express," are here printed for the first time in a book.

For the general title of the present collection, the editor alone is
responsible.
