Acknowledgements are specially due to _The Boston Evening Transcript_
for permission to reprint the large body of material previously
published in its pages. We ask pardon of any one whose rights we may
have accidentally overlooked.

We shall be grateful to our readers for corrections, and particularly
for suggestions leading to the wider usefulness of this annual volume.
We shall particularly welcome the receipt from authors, editors,
agents, and publishers, of stories printed during the year beginning
July 1, 1922, which have qualities of distinction but yet are not
published in periodicals falling under our regular notice. Such
communications may be addressed to _Edward J. O'Brien, Forest Hill,
Oxfordshire_.
