Excerpt from Walter Pater Originally published eight years ago, as the initial volume in the Contemporary Men of Letters Series, this little book had the luck to be the first biographical study of Walter Pater. There have been other Lives since then, - Mr. Benson's competent and perceptive book, and Mr. Thomas Wrights bi-voluminous performance. Both of these writers have enjoyed special opportunities for acquaintance with the details of Pater's life to which the present writer could lay no claim, and they have turned them, the one to very good, and the other to very bad account.
