Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Toilers of the Field

All the papers in Part II. Have appeared in Longman's Magazine, since J efl'eries' death, and though they are with one exception very slight, yet they are all characteristic speci mens of his work. From internal evidence it appears certain that the longest of them, entitled The Coming of Summer, was written on June 1, 1881, and the subsequent days. It contains one or two points of resem blance with the famous Pageant of Summer, which appeared in Longman's Magazine for June 1883. It was perhaps the first study of which that paper is the finished picture.

The frontispiece is reproduced by kind permission of Mr. J. Owen of Salisbury, from a photograph taken by him of Miss Thomas' bust of Jefi'eries in Salisbury Cathedral.

Excerpt from The Toilers of the Field

The first and larger part of this volume, from which it takes its name, consists of papers which will be new to the large majority of readers of Richard Jefferies' works. The five entitled, "The Farmer at Home," "The Labourer's Daily Life," "Field-faring Women," "An English Homestead," and "John Smith's Shanty," appeared in Frasers Magazine in 1874, long before Jefferies had gained any portion of that fame which was so long in coming, and came in full measure too late. Of the three letters to the Times, written in 1872, one was republished, with the permission of Mrs. Jefferies, in an appendix to Mr. Walter Besant's "Eulogy of Richard Jefferies." It finds its natural place in this volume with the other papers, which give so clear a picture of the life of all classes of the cultivators of the soil in the early seventies.
