Excerpt from Reviews, Vol. 1 The editor of writing by any author not long deceased is censured sooner or later for his errors of omission or commission. I have decided to err on the side of commission and to include in the uniform edition of Wilde's works everything that could be identified as genuine. Wilde's literary reputation has survived so much that I think it proof against any exhumation of articles which he or his admirers would have preferred to forget. As a matter of fact, I believe this volume will prove of unusual interest, some of the reviews are curiously prophetic, some are, of course, biassed by prejudice hostile or friendly, others are conceived in the authors wittiest and happiest vein, only a few are colourless. And if, according to Lord Beacons-field, the verdict of a continental nation may be regarded as that of posterity, Wilde is a much greater force in our literature than even friendly contemporaries ever supposed he would become.
