Note from the Editors of The New Republic:

16-line note stating that the articles in this volume first appeared as a supplement to the April 12, 1922 issue of The New Republic, and further noting that two of the original articles had to be omitted for reasons of the authors' publishing arrangements (see image above).

Notes:

While we generally don't reproduce inscriptions in books, we do occasionally do so, especially when the inscription has bibliographic or historical value. In this case, Mr. Cabell's inscription to George Keating (on the FFEP of Keating's copy) is of interest:

For George T. Keating

my part hereinafter which is
noteworthy, if at all, as the germ
of Straws and Prayer Books.

James Branch Cabell

The note is undated, but Mr. Cabell's signature is in his later Storisende style, so it dates from the late 1920s at the earliest.
