PUBLISHERS' NOTE 



R. L. Stevenson's Memoir of his friend 

 Fleeming Jenkin was originally published in 

 January 1888 as the first portion of 'Papers, 

 Literary, Scientific, etc., by the late Fleeming 

 Jenkin, F.R.S., LL.D., Professor of Engineer- 

 ing in the University of Edinburgh. Edited 

 by Sidney Colvin, M.A., and J. A. Ewing, 

 F.R.S. With a Memoir by Robert Louis 

 Stevenson.' Since then it has been repub- 

 lished in the three editions of Stevenson's 

 Collected Works, viz. the Edinburgh Edition, 

 the Pentland Edition, and the Swanston 

 Edition. It is now, for the first time in this 

 country, issued in separate form.
