Excerpt from The Works of Francis Thompson, Vol. 3: Prose Later his literary criticisms had a friendly welcome in several quarters, notably in Tbe Academy, under Charles Lewis Hind, and in Tbe Atbeneeum, first under Norman Maccoll and finally under Vernon Rendall. The reprinting of such articles and reviews, written in haste, must be something of a hazardous adventure. But I am fortified in making it by the faé't that he him self projeéted a Prose volume appointing for it some of the articles here printed, and even formally correct ing them for the Press. And if my choice, where left unaided, is a faulty one, I know that the very failures and unexpefiednesses of a man of genius serve a sound purpose, though a biographical, rather than a literary one.
