 1922. atCuttle-brook HouseThameOxon. My dear Russell My sisters can publish anything from ten to say thirtythousand words. My Four Years which they publish in October is abouttwenty thousand and my Reveries was over thirty thousand. I think itwould be best if you could let them have a whole section, rether thanselections. Their subscribers will pay a higher price than the readersof the ordinary editions. I like I think to feel that they have thefirst edition of something. For instance though my Four Years willbe trebled in size and extended to ten or fifteen years instead of fourthat little work will still be the first edition. Perhaps it would stillbe the first edition of your selection but I am not quite clear on thepoint. Perhaps you might let them have what you have written up to date,and call it part 1. You would find a stimulus in the doing of the restto have so much published & talked of. Now a matter of immediate interest to myself. Have yourepublished those old pamphlets--The Hero in Man, & some pamphletsin which you speak of the Bible stories having taken away the sacrednessof the soil? Do you remember the dates of their publication? I haveyour books but they are in Oxford & I dont want to make an expeditionthere till I know whether these pamphlets are in your book of essays.If they are not I can get them in the Bodleian probably though notcertainly. I shall probably contrast them with Eglinton's Essays onthe Remnant , & between the two get an exposition of Unity & Culture, asagainst Unity of Opinion which Nationalist Ireland preferred Yrs everW.B.
