vi PREFACE. 



Mr. Charles Longman, Mr. J. W. North, and 

 Mr. C. P. Scott. I have also been provided 

 with the note-books filled with Jefferies' 

 notes made in the fields. These have enabled 

 me to understand, and, I hope, to convey to 

 others some understanding of, the writer's 

 methods. I call this book the " Eulogy " of 

 Richard Jefferies, because, in very truth, I 

 can find nothing but admiration, pure and 

 unalloyed, for that later work of his, on 

 which will rest his fame and his abiding 

 memory.
