Introductory Preface by the Right Hon. Lord COLERIDGE, of Ottery S.

This book, of which the first edition was limited to 250 copies, was

melody of verse, clear and picturesque language, and virginal purity
of conception.

time in a veritable region of romance, breathing an atmosphere of
unreality, and surrounded by supernatural beings.’--_Morning Post._
