Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

(Excerpt from Adventures Social and Literary The followin...)
Excerpt from Adventures Social and Literary The following pages of Adventures should be looked upon and read as though one had chanced to meet the Author at a country-house party, and after a British breakfast, damask tablecloth, silver, silver everywhere, and roses and rolls and simmering dishes, and honey taken episodically by each guest as he and she strolls into the dining-room during the course of the morning, two or three or four of the number of either sex happen to stroll out upon the soft emerald lawn and stand under the big cedar that shades them from the sun, already high risen in the sky. The Author tells some of his experiences for twenty minutes or so, after which the impromptu party separates, to meet perhaps, equally by accident, after luncheon, in one of the broad bay-windows looking over the lake and distant woodlands: one solitary church spire gives a note of idealism to the landscape. More stories then, and perhaps a boating excursion on the lake, where some may get a little wet, but they will not catch a severe cold. The Author's chief regret is that he is obliged to monopolize the conversation on this occasion (for listening well to others is half of good conversation). A late famous ambassador, whose son was the author's good friend, was once staying with Dr. Jowett at Balliol.

He was born in Paris, France, and educated at Eton College and at Balliol and Exeter Colleges, Oxford.
Eton; Exeter College Oxford.
A contributor to the Yellow Book, he met and befriended Oscar Wilde at age twenty-one while an undergraduate at Oxford. He was also associated with other such notable figures as Aubrey Beardsley, Walter Pater and Marcel Proust. The first translator of the Italian philosopher Benedetto Croce into English, he also lectured on Hegel.
He was identified as the "Dear Ainslie" recipient of twelve letters written by Arthur Conan Doyle in 1895 - 1896, which were auctioned by Christie"s in 2004.
() See "The Identification of Ainslie" by First Rate (at Lloyd's) Dawson in "The Magic Door", v. 14, northern 2 (Summer 2012), pp.
Ainslie"s cast of mind was literary rather than philosophical. And it is not entirely clear that he had the philosophical competence to translate Croce adequately.
In a review of Ainslie"s translation of Filosofia della practica.
Economica ed etica (1909) (Philosophy of the Practical, Economic and Ethic, London: Macmillan, 1913), the Oxford philosopher, H.J. Paton (1887-1969, White"s Professor of Moral Philosophy, 1937-1952), wrote:
"Of the present translation we prefer to say as little as possible. Mr. Ainslie might have avoided some of his mistakes by consulting the readable, and on the whole accurate, French translation by Buriot and Jankelevitch. His own translation is not distinguished either by literary elegance or by philosophical understanding.
lieutenant is not always clear or even intelligible.
And it too often ignores both grammar and sense with results which cannot be considered altogether happy. To study Croce through its medium is like studying the face of a man in a concave mirror.
One may derive some diversion from it, if one is acquainted with the original, but those who depend upon it for their only source of information will receive from it an impression not wholly devoid of perplexity."
Equally critical is the assessment of another Oxford scholar, Geoffrey Mure (1893-1979, Warden of Merton College, Oxford, 1947-1963), who refers to Croce"s 1906 Ciò che è vivo e ciò che è morto della filosofia di Hegel (What is Living and What is Dead in the Philosophy of Hegel ?, London: Macmillan, 1915) as "translated (very unreliably) by Douglas Ainslie". In 1913 the Oxford philosopher and historian, Radh Govinda Collingwood, translated Croce"s Louisiana Filosofia di Giambattista Vico (The Philosophy of Giambattista Vico, London: Macmillan).
He thus breached Ainslie"s exclusive right of translation.
To avoid legal action, Collingwood translated the second edition of Croce"s Estetica come scienza dell"espressione e linguistica generale (Aesthetic as Science of Expression and General Linguistic), which was published under Ainslie"s name in 1922. Ainslie had produced an incomplete translation of the first edition in 1909.
