book form, on authors such as Dryden, Herrick, Ben Jonson,

critic and literary historian.
The Editors of the Saintsbury Memorial Volume have been encouraged
by the welcome which that book received to make a final gathering
of George Saintbury's writings. From a score of different sources
they have chosen essays and papers that have lain uncollected, with
their themes ranging from Captain Marryat to Erasmus, from Rosetti
to Xenephon, from Swinburne to Balzac's early pot boilers. Included
is an entrancing study of the literary associations of the city of
Bath; and the editors have followed Saintbury's own example by
collecting a Scrap Book more than thirty shorter notes and jeux
d'esprit on all kinds of subjects: wigs, sensation novelists,
Drummond and Ben Jonson, George Sand, compulsory Greek at Oxford,
Shakespeare and Welsh, Laurence Sterne tittle-tattle, Marcel
Proust, and much else in true Saintsburian vein.
