NOTES BY THE E-TEXT EDITOR:

Reliability: Although I have done my best to ensure that the text youread is error-free in comparison with an exact reprint of thestandard edition—Macmillan's 1910 Library Edition—please exercisescholarly caution in using it. It is not intended as a substitutefor the printed original but rather as a searchable supplement. Mye-texts may prove convenient substitutes for hard-to-get works in acourse where both instructor and students accept the possibility ofsome imperfections in the text, but if you are writing a scholarlyarticle, dissertation, or book, you should use the standard hard-copyeditions of any works you cite.

Pagination and Paragraphing: To avoid an unwieldy electronic copy, Ihave transferred original pagination to brackets. A bracketednumeral such as [22] indicates that the material immediatelyfollowing the number marks the beginning of the relevant page. Ihave preserved paragraph structure except for first-line indentation.

Hyphenation: I have not preserved original hyphenation since an e-text does not require line-end or page-end hyphenation.

Greek typeface: For this full-text edition, I have transliteratedPater's Greek quotations. If there is a need for the original Greek,it can be viewed at my site, http://www.ajdrake.com/etexts, aVictorianist archive that contains the complete works of Walter Paterand many other nineteenth-century texts, mostly in first editions.
