Book Description
Proof copy, with various variants from the finished version - Beerbohm's introduction has minor corrections which means the whole introduction is reset, with a different line count, Adcock's preface is unsigned, and several of the essays themselves don't yet have the bibliographical reference as to where they had originally been published. Scott died on a troopship on the way to Gallipoli in 1915, and this anthology of his very good critical writing was published as something of a memorial.
