H. G. WELLS
Story of His Early Life as
Told by Himself.

II. G.. Wells, whose new novel,
"Bealby," is announced by the Mac
milan Company for publication in
March, has contributed to a Russian
edition of his works an introduction
in which he explains himself" 1t con-
tains several facts of his early life
with which even his American readers
are not familiar.
81 was born" he begins, ain that
queer, indefinite class that we call in
England the middle class. ! am not a
bit aristocratic; ! do not know any of
my ancestors beyond my grandparents,
and about them / do not know very
much because / am the youngest son
Of my father and mother, and their
parents were dead before | was born.
Ny mother was the daughter of an inn
keeper st q place named Midhurst, who
supplied post horses to the coaches be-
fore the railways came. My father was
the son of the head gardener of Lord
de Lisle at Penshurst Castle. in Kent.
They had various changes Of fortune
and position; for most Of his life my
father kept a little shop In a suburb of
London and eked out his resources by
PLAYING cricket. His shop was unsuc-
cessful, and my mother. who had once
been a lady's maid, became, when /
was twelve years old, housekeeper in a
large country house. ] was destined 10
be a shopkeeper. left school at thir-
teen for that purpose, and was appren-
ticed first to chemist. and. that prov
ing unsatisfactory, TO a draper; but
after a year or so II became evident TO
me that the facilities for higher educa-
ton that were, and still are, constant
ly increasing in England offered me
better chances in life than a shop and
comparative illiteracy could do; and
so / struggled for and got various
grants and scholarships that enabled
me TO study and to make a degree in
science and some mediocre honors IN
the new, and now great and growing
University of London. My chief sub
iect for graduation was comparative
anatomy, and the professor In whose
laboratory worked was Professor
Huxley.
after had graduated I taught
biology for two or three years and
then became journalist, partly be-
cause II is a more remunerative pro-
fession in England than teaching, but
partly also because ! had always taken
the keenest interest in writing Eng
iish. Some little kink in my mind has
always made the writing Of prose very
interesting to me. l began first to
write literary articles, criticisms. etc,
and presently short imaginative
stories, in which ! made use Of the
suggestions of modern science. There
was a demand for this sort Of fiction
In Great Britain and America, and my
first book, published in 1895, attracted
considerable attention, and. with two
az It's successors, gave me a sufficient
popularity 10 enable me to devote my
self exclusively, and with a certain
sense Of security, to purely literary
work"
