AUTHOR'S NOTE TO THE FOURTH EDITION

..."Every work of so-called imaginative literature, good or bad, is necessarily at once both fact and fiction; and not only in the sense that fiction is mingled with fact. In every single part fact and fiction are inextricably interwoven." ... / F. P. G. / Simcoe, Ontario,/ February, 1939"
