The standard edition of Kipling is the Outward Bound edition, published in this country by the Scribners. It contains a general introduction by the author and special prefaces to each volume, with illustrations from bas reliefs made by the novelist's father. Doubleday, Page & Co. are issuing a pocket edition of Kipling, on thin paper with flexible leather binding, which is very convenient. Any additional books will be added to each of these editions. Kipling has told of his early life in India and of his precocious literary activity in _My First Book_ (1894). Richard Le Gallienne made a study of the novelist in _Rudyard Kipling--A Criticism_ and Edmund Gosse in _Questions at Issue_ discusses his short stories. Prof. William Lyon Phelps in _Essays on Modern Novelists_ has a fine chapter on Kipling. Andrew Lang in _Essays in Little_ treats of "Mr. Kipling's Stories" and Barrie has an appreciation in CONTEMPORARY REVIEW for March, 1891. A useful _Kipling Index_ is issued by Doubleday, Page & Co. All titles are indexed so that one may locate any story or character. _Index_ A Blot on the 'Scutcheon, 108, 110, 113. A Child's Garden of Verse, 125. Adam Bede, 65, 76, 82, 84. Addison, 58.
