"There seems to be sufficient evidence to warrant inclusion of ... [this text] in a bibliography of Henry James's works, although his would have been largely the revising, rather than the author's hand. ... According to Abbey's biographer, E.v. Lucas, James assisted Mrs. Abbey in preparing a text for the catalogue of the exhibition of the first five panels of the Grail Series held at the Conduit Galleries in January 1895 ..." Cf. Edel & Laurence, p. 219, 221.
