Excerpt from Life's Little Ironies: A Set of Tales With Some Colloquial Sketches Entitled a Few Crusted Characters Of the following collection the first story, 'An Imaginative Woman, ' which has hitherto stood in Wessex Tales, has been brought into this volume as being more nearly its place, turning as it does upon a trick of Nature, so to speak, a physical possibility that may attach to a wife of vivid imaginings, as is well known to medical practitioners and other observers of such manifestations. The two stories named 'A Tradition of Eighteen Hundred and Four' and 'The Melancholy Hussar of the German Legion, ' which were formerly printed in this series, have been transferred to Wessex Tales, where they more naturally belong. The present narratives and sketches, though separately published at various antecedent dates, were first collected and issued in a volume in 1894.
