PREFATORY NOTE

THE essay entitled "The White Water Lily" first appeared in the Methodist Review and "The Fundamental Teachings of Thomas Carlyle" in The Methodist Review (Quarterly) and are republished with the kind consent of the editors of the periodicals. Acknowledgment is also due to Houghton Mifflin Company for permission to quote at length from the writings of several major American poets, and to Charles Scribner's Sons and Dr. Henry J. van Dyke for the privilege of quoting two stanzas from "The Toiling of Felix." Two passages from Leslie Stephen's Hours in a Library are quoted through the courtesy of G. P. Putnam's Sons.
