[Illustration: colophon] LONDON: PUBLISHED by J·M·DENT·&·SONS·L{TD} AND IN NEW YORK BY E·P·DUTTON & CO FIRST ISSUE OF THIS EDITION 1908 REPRINTED 1914 INTRODUCTION _Runnymede and Lincoln Fair_ was the last story drawing upon the wars and great affairs of English history which its author was destined to write. Like _Cressy and Poictiers_, which is already included in “Everyman’s Library,” and which preceded it by some three years in its original issue, it first ran as a serial through the magazine particularly associated with Edgar--the _Boys’ Own Magazine_; it was first published as a separate book in 1866.
