THE FLOWING BOWL
I'l
something towards the purchase of a Bath Chair
—have induced me to issue this little treatise on
liquids, as a companion to my first cloth-bound
book. And innate modesty—I stick to " in
nate," despite the critics—compels me to add
that I think the last is the better work. I will,
however, leave a generous and discriminating
public to decide that question for itself.
London, Christmas Eve, 1898.
