However, they are necessary; and there are nine or ten Of them for the reader to consult or to ignore, as it may seem good to him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome explanation appears desirable of the dual author ship Of the book, which is due to the untimely death of Mr. Gerald Brenan, in November, 1906; and it may be stated that he is responsible for that portion which concludes with the chapter entitled The Poet Earl and his Times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Publisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
