Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.

The ungrudging tributes paid by most of its critics to Mr. W. N. P. Barbellion's Journal of a Disappointed Man, and the interest confessed by many readers in the personality of the author, with inquiries for more of his writings, if any might exist, encouraged his friends to release for publication some examples of the work of Barbellion as a naturalist and a man of letters.<br><br>The Journal Essays in this collection are from the original journal, which extends to over twenty post quarto volumes in manuscript.

It was at first intended that these essays should be included in the published journal, but they were omitted then in order to bring the first book within reasonable dimensions.

The rest of this new volume is made up of contributions to various periodicals and of other essays now published for the first time.

They cover the period from 1905, when Barbellion was 16 years old, to 1917, and they dispose finally of suggestions which have been made that the Journal of a Disappointed Man was not authentic but the work of Mr. H. G. Wells, who wrote the generous introduction.
