dreamy mystical writing of his latest years, to which " Nature and 

 Eternity " and " The Dawn " belong. Indeed the Editor claims that 

 this volume contains, as no other single volume does, specimens of all 

 the various stages of thought and expresssion through which Jefferies 

 passed in the course of his literary life. In his appreciation of these 

 progressive phases he ranks the latest as the highest, and discourses at 

 some length on the " marks of the cosmic sense " and " cosmic conscious- 

 ness " which it seems Jefferies was only on the way to attaining to at his 

 death. 



In addition to those mentioned above, the essays included in this volume 

 are "Birds of Spring," " The Opening of the Year," "Vignettes from 

 Nature," " A King of Acres," " The Story of Swindon," " Unequal 

 Agriculture," "Village Organization," "The Idle Earth," " After the 

 County Franchise," " The Wiltshire Labourer," " On the Downs," and 

 "The Sun and the Brook." The majority of these deal directly or in- 

 directly with the life of North Wilts some twenty-five years ago. No 

 one has ever known the Wiltshire farmer and the Wiltshire labourer 

 better, and no one has ever described them so well as Richard Jefferies.
