Acknowledgments
Many
of
the
sketches
which
form
the
present
volume
have
already
appeared
in
print.
Others
of
them
are
new.
Of
the
re-printed
pieces,
"Melpomenus
Jones,"
"Policeman
Hogan,"
"A
Lesson
in
Fiction,"
and
many
others
were
contributions
by
the
author
to
the
New
York
Truth.
The
"Boarding-House
Geometry"
first
appeared
in
Truth,
and
was
subsequently
republished
in
the
London
Punch,
and
in
a
great
many
other
journals.
The
sketches
called
the
"Life
of
John
Smith,"
"Society
Chit-Chat,"
and
"Aristocratic
Education"
appeared
in
Puck.
"The
New
Pathology"
was
first
printed
in
the
Toronto
Saturday
Night,
and
was
subsequently
republished
by
the
London
Lancet,
and
by
various
German
periodicals
in
the
form
of
a

The

Dollars"
and

etc.
are
reproduced
by
permission
of
the
Publishers'
Press
Syndicate.
The
wide
circulation
which
some
of
the
above
sketches
have
enjoyed
has
encouraged
the
author
to
prepare
the
present
collection.
The
author
desires
to
express
his
sense
of
obligation
to
the
proprietors
of
the
above
journals
who
have
kindly
permitted
him
to
republish
the
contributions
which
appeared
in
their
columns.
