Excerpt from Essays and Studies: Prose Selections for College Reading In a book of this kind a single name appears upon the title-page only by a sort of custom, for many persons have a hand in its making. I am indebted to my publishers for the use of much copyrighted material. Although due credit is given in the proper places I should like to acknowledge the kindness of Charles Scribner's Sons, Doubleday, Page & Company, D. Appleton & Company, the Yale University Press, and The Macmillan Company in permitting me to use material of which they control the copyrights. To name those who have made suggestions with regard to the collection would be almost to print a directory of the English Department of Cornell University, but among those who have given particular assistance in the choice of selections I must mention Professor J. B. Reeves, of Westminster College, Missouri, and Mr, Seymour Long, Mr. Manning Smith, and Professor F. C. Prescott, of Cornell. Mr. J. H. Nelson has generously assisted me in reading the proof. To Professor Martin W. Sampson, of Cornell, I am indebted for advice and counsel on most matters connected with the book, and for permission to print his essay on Poetry.
