Miscellanies

Excerpt

Since these volumes are sure of a place in your marvellous library I trust that with your unrivalled knowledge of the various editions of Wilde you may not detect any grievous error whether of taste or type, of omission or commission.  But should you do so you must blame the editor, and not those who so patiently assisted him, the proof readers, the printers, or the publishers.  Some day, however, I look forward to your bibliography of the author, in which you will be at liberty to criticise my capacity for anything except regard and friendship for yourself.—Sincerely yours,
