SOLILOQUIES IN ENGLAND

AND LATER SOLILOQUIES

BY

GEORGE SANTAYANA

NEW YORK

CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS

1922

PREFACE

Many of these Soliloquies have appeared in The Athenaeum and one ormore in The London Mercury, The Nation, The New Republic, TheDial, and The Journal of Philosophy. The author's thanks are due tothe Editors of all these reviews for permission to reprint the articles.

For convenience, three Soliloquies on Liberty, written in 1915, havebeen placed in the second group; and perhaps it should be added thatnot a few of the later pieces were written in France, Spain, or Italy,although still for the most part on English themes and under theinfluence of English impressions.
