It will be found that almost all Mr. G. K, Chestertons books have been utilized in the making of this Calendar. A word of acknowledgment is due to the various publishers for their courtesy in permitting this to Messrs. Grant Richards, Arthur L. Humphreys, J. W. Arrowsmith, John Lane, J. M. Dent Co., Macmillan Co., Duckworth Co., Harper Co., Cassell Co., and Methuen Co. Recourse has been had also to the files of the Daily News, the Illustrated London News, and other journals to which Mr. Chesterton has been a contributor. The present publishers feel they are peculiarly indebted to Mr. Chesterton himself for his kindness in allowing them to include certain verses from poems which have not yet been printed in cxtcnso elsewhere. Mere light sophistry is the thing that I happen to despise most of all things, and it is perhaps a wholesome fact that this is the thing of which I am generally accused. |
