History

Two men in a smoking-room were talking of their private-school days. ¿At our school ¿ said A. ¿we had a ghost¿s footmark on the staircase. What was it like? Oh very unconvincing. Just the shape of a shoe with a square toe if I remember right.

Excerpt from On the Abbey of S. Edmund at Bury: I, the Library, II, the ChurchThe two Essays contained in this volume have both of them grown out of papers read by me before the Cambridge Antiquarian Society. The circumstances which led me to write them are sufficiently set forth, I think, in the opening paragraphs of each: but I should like to take the present opportunity of explaining to my readers the reasons for the form in which the second of the two Essays appears here, and of anticipating certain criticisms which might reasonably be passed on it.It should by rights have been furnished with copious references to the Appendix which follows (and overshadows) it. But the truth is that this Appendix is in its present form an afterthought. I had originally intended to print only the new materials which I had discovered in the Register at Douai and in the manuscript at the College of Arms: but it became evident that extracts from the gesta Sacristarum would have to be added; and then that quotations from Jocelin de Braekelond were indispensable: and, not to make a long story of it, I ultimately decided to present my readers with the whole of the materials that lay before myself, and so to enable them to check the conclusions I had arrived at, by their own independent study of the documents I had used.Again, the issuing of the second Essay together with the first, as an "octavo publication," instead of allowing it to appear as an ordinary Communication, was another afterthought. It was not discussed until part of the text had been printed off. To me it seems a very happy idea, and I am very grateful to those who suggested and carried out the change. This fact will explain satisfactorily, I hope, the occurrence of some repetitions in the second Essay of facts alluded to in the first.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Thin Ghost and Others

CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform

A collection of short stories by a master of the genre. Montague Rhodes James, OM, MA, (August 1, 1862 – June 12, 1936), who used the publication name M. R. James, was a noted British mediaeval scholar and provost of King's College, Cambridge (1905–1918) and of Eton College (1918–1936). He is best remembered for his ghost stories which are widely regarded as among the finest in English literature. One of James' most important achievements was to redefine the ghost story for the new century by dispensing with many of the formal gothic trappings of his predecessors, and replacing them with more realistic contemporary settings.
