MISCELLANEOUS STUDIES: A SERIES OF ESSAYS
WALTER HORATIO PATER
London: 1910. (The Library Edition.)
NOTES BY THE E-TEXT EDITOR:
Notes: The 1910 Library Edition employs footnotes, a
style inconvenient in an electronic edition. I have therefore
placed an asterisk immediately after each of Pater's footnotes
and a + sign after my own notes, and have listed each chapter's
notes at that chapter's end.
Pagination and Paragraphing: To avoid an unwieldy electronic copy,
I have transferred original pagination to brackets. A bracketed
numeral such as [22] indicates that the material immediately
following the number marks the beginning of the relevant page. I
have preserved paragraph structure except for first-line indentation.
Hyphenation: I have not preserved original hyphenation since an
e-text does not require line-end or page-end hyphenation.
Greek typeface: For this full-text edition, I have transliterated
Pater's Greek quotations. If there is a need for the original Greek, it
can be viewed at my site, http://www.ajdrake.com/etexts, a Victorianist
archive that contains the complete works of Walter Pater and many other
nineteenth-century texts, mostly in first editions.

CHARLES L. SHADWELL'S PREFACE
[1] The volume of Greek Studies, issued early in the present year,
dealt with Mr. Pater's contributions to the study of Greek art,
mythology, and poetry. The present volume has no such unifying
principle. Some of the papers would naturally find their place
alongside of those collected in Imaginary Portraits, or in
Appreciations, or in the Studies in the Renaissance. And there is no
doubt, in the case of several of them, that Mr. Pater, if he had
lived, would have subjected them to careful revision before allowing
them to reappear in a permanent form. The task, which he left
unexecuted, cannot now be taken up by any other hand. But it is
hoped that students of his writings will be glad to possess, in a
collected shape, what has hitherto only been accessible in the
scattered volumes of magazines. It is with some hesitation that the
paper on Diaphaneitè, the last in this volume, has been added, as the
only specimen known to [2] be preserved of those early essays of Mr.
Pater's, by which his literary gifts were first made known to the
small circle of his Oxford friends.
Subjoined is a brief chronological list of his published writings.
It will be observed how considerable a period, 1880 to 1885, was
given up to the composition of Marius the Epicurean, the most highly
finished of all his works, and the expression of his deepest thought.
