About this book

Nine magazine studies of men and their books were gathered by Stevenson into this volume. His preface names Knox and Burns, Hugo and Villon, Whitman and Thoreau, and Yoshida, for whom he says he merely held the pen. They first appeared in the New Quarterly, Macmillan's and the Cornhill Magazine. He admits they are the reading of a wanderer and probably hold errors.

This is the eleventh edition, London, 1896. It is dedicated to his father Thomas Stevenson, a civil engineer whose designs made the lighthouses of the world shine brighter.
