HARPER & BROTHERS PUBLISHERS NEW YORK AND LONDON THE INNOCENTS Copyright, 1917, by Harper & Brothers Printed in the United States of America Published October, 1917 F-R A DEDICATORY INTRODUCTION If this were a ponderous work of realism, such as the author has attempted to write, and will doubtless essay again, it would be perilous to dedicate it to the splendid assembly of young British writers, lest the critics search for Influences and Imitations.

But since this is a flagrant excursion, a tale for people who still read Dickens and clip out spring poetry and love old people and children, it may safely confess the writer's strident admiration for Compton Mackenzie, Hugh Walpole, Oliver Onions, D. H. Lawrence, J. D. Beresford, Gilbert Cannan, Patrick MacGill, and their peers, whose novels are the histories of our contemporaneous Golden Age.
