The first edition of _The Divine Adventure: Iona: By Sundown Shores_ was published in 1900 by Messrs. Chapman and Hall. The Titular Essay (since revised) appeared first in _The Fortnightly Review_ for November and December, 1899. A large portion of "Iona" (though in different sequence) appeared also in _The Fortnightly_, March and April, 1900. Both "spiritual histories" were published separately in book form in America by Mr. T. Mosher; "Iona," curtailed and rearranged under the title of "The Isle of Dreams," in 1905. The Essay "Celtic" in its original form, first printed in _The Contemporary Review_, will now be found, revised and materially added to, in _The Winged Destiny_. In this Uniform Edition of the writings of "Fiona Macleod" (William Sharp) the following stories, etc., have been transferred to the present volume: "The White Fever" and "The Smoothing of the Hand" from _The Sin-Eater_; "The White Heron" which relates to the earlier story of Mary Maclean in _Pharais_, is from _The Dominion of Dreams_, and in its earliest version appeared with illustrations in the Christmas number of _Harper_ in 1898. "A Dream" appeared first in the _Theosophical Review_ of September, 1904. Finally I have added to this volume the latter portion and some detached fragments from _Green Fire_, a Romance by "Fiona Macleod" dealing with Brittany and the Hebrid Isles and published in 1896 by Messrs. A. Constable, and in America by Messrs. Harper Bros. But William Sharp considered that the book suffered from grave defects of design and construction and decided that, when out of print, it should not be republished. "The Herdsman," however, is--as he stated in a note to the first Edition of _The Dominion of Dreams_, "a re-written and materially altered version of the Hebridean part of _Green Fire_ of which book it is all I care to preserve." Nevertheless, in accordance with the wishes of several friends, I have very willingly put together a series of detached fragments from the book and placed them beside "The Herdsman" as, in our opinion equally worthy of preservation, since the author's prohibition precludes the possibility of reprinting the book in its entirety. * * * * * WOODS & SONS, LTD., PRINTERS, LONDON, N. * * * * * _UNIFORM WITH THIS VOLUME_ THE COLLECTED WORKS OF FIONA MACLEOD (WILLIAM SHARP) In Seven Volumes.
