RUTHVEN TODD [swelled rule] [this line and next in red] TRACKS IN THE SNOW STUDIES IN ENGLISH SCIENCE AND ART For being too hasty and huddling up and tumbling out Books. Herein I confess I cannot acquit myself wholly from blame. I know well, that the longer a book lies by me, the perfecter it becomes. Something occurs every day in reading or thinking, either to add, or to correct and alter for the better; but should I defer the Edition till the work were absolutely perfect, I might wait all my life-time, and leave it to be published by my Executors.
