It
is, like these instruments, a _means_ and not an _end._ May pedants,
scholiasters, formalists, and dilettantes take to heart this final
description of literary definition!
Quite unconsciously for the most part, but occasionally with
purpose aforethought, the essays in this book have been written as
literary definitions. Its unity lies in the attempt, which at
least has been sincere, to grasp, turn, study in a serious,
humorous, ironical, anything but a flippant mood, the living forms
of literature as they have risen into consciousness and challenged
definition.
THE END.

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
