["Joseph Vance" is unquestionably De Morgan's masterpiece, and one of the most remarkable novels in the English language. Written by a man past three score years, who had made a success and a fortune in mercantile and manufacturing lines, but who had never attempted literature, its immediate hold upon the reading public was phenomenal. Yet perhaps this happy evolution is not to be wondered at. The author's father was the celebrated Augustus De Morgan, a writer whose brilliant and learned labours were the delight of the Victorian era. William De Morgan had throughout his long life so saturated himself with Dickens and Thackeray that it was only natural, when in the retirement of his ripe old age, he turned his hand to authorship, that he

"

should write exactly in the manner of those two giants of English literature. What is more surprising is that, himself surprised and encouraged by the success of "Joseph Vance," he should have continued to write, till his dying day at an advanced age, other worthy novels, the manuscripts of which are here offered. It is related that when Joseph Vance" was offered to William Heinemann, the publisher was appalled at this mass of hand-written manuscript, and insisted that it must be typewritten before he could consider it. Accordingly, the manuscript was sent to a professional typist, who soon reported that her girls spent their time in laughing and crying over the manuscript, instead of typing it. Heinemann hesitated no longer, and accepted and published the book, which met with an instantaneous and world-wide success.]
