THE PLEASURES OF LIFE PART II Aveturg, Boton bu borck SIR JOHN LUBBOCK, BART., M.P. F.R.S., D.C.L., LL.D. VICE-CHAIRMAN OF THE LONDON COUNTY COUNCIL PRINCIPAL OF THE LONDON WORKING-MEN'S COLLEGE, AND London MACMILLAN AND CO. AND NEW YORK 1889 All rights reserved PREFACE "And what is writ, is writ- BYRON. HEREWITH I launch the conclusion of my subject. Perhaps I am unwise in publishing a second part. The first was so kindly received that I am running a risk in attempting to add to it. In the preface, however, to the first part I have expressed the hope that the thoughts and quotations in which I have found most comfort and delight, might be of use to others also. In this my most sanguine hopes have been more than realised. Not only has the book passed through thirteen editions in less than two years, but the many letters which I have received have been most gratifying. |
