Excerpt from The Book of the Microcosm I take opportunity of thanking all who have in one way or another, helped "The Microcosm" since the publication of its first number, on my eleventh birthday. "The Microcosm" having been sold on behalf of various charities, all contributions have been honorary, save in those cases where artists or writers could ill afford such generosity. Until 1914 every expense connected with the magazine was made good by my father, George Benson Clough. Since 1914 the cost of production and circulation have been covered by Colonel Sir Edward Allen Brotherton, Bart., D.L., LL.D. I venture to think "The Microcosm" has not died unregretted, but however carefully handled, the loose numbers of a magazine can expect only a short lease of life, whereas a bound book has a better chance of cheating Time. So, at the suggestion of E. M. Martin, a friend and contributor, I have here gathered together a few of the poems, articles, and pictures that "The Microcosm" may be held for a while in kindly remembrance.
