PAPERS
FROM LILLIPUT

BY
J. B. PRIESTLEY
AUTHOR OF ‘BRIEF DIVERSIONS’


CAMBRIDGE
BOWES & BOWES
1922

PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN



TO
MY FATHER

Some of these essays have appeared in THE LONDON MERCURY, THE NINETEENTH CENTURY, THE OUTLOOK, and THE CAMBRIDGE REVIEW. Others have been selected from a large number I contributed (week by week, under the pseudonym of ‘Peter of Pomfret’) to the YORKSHIRE OBSERVER. Others again are the first-fruits of a current series of such things I am contributing to THE CHALLENGE under the general title of ‘New Papers from Lilliput.’ I take this opportunity of thanking all the editors concerned for their hospitality to these not, I trust, too ill-favoured bantlings of mine, and hope that they will not regret it if they should now chance to renew the acquaintance.
