PREFATORY NOTICE.

IN forming this collection, I have taken care to confine it to contributions which aimed at the general and comprehensive treatment of subjects or characters, rather than the mere criticism of books; and a preference has been given to those which I have been fortunately enabled to enrich from peculiar sources of information, such as the reminiscences

of distinguished friends and contemporaries.

The two Essays entitled "George Selwyn" and "Lord Chesterfield" had been already reprinted in Messrs. Longmans' "Traveller's Library;" and "The Art of Dining" forms part of "Murray's Railway Reading." Although the second edition had been stereotyped, Mr. Murray kindly permitted me to include it in this compilation, as well as any articles of mine that I might choose from "The Quarterly Review."

March, 1858.
