(Excerpt from Castellinaria: And Other Sicilian Diversions...)
Excerpt from Castellinaria: And Other Sicilian Diversions It is probable that every book contains, besides misprints, some statements which the author would be glad to modify if he could. In Chapter V of Diversions in Sicily it is stated that the seating arrangements of the marionette theatre in Catania would be condemned by the County Council, which I believe to be correct, but, on visiting the theatre since, I find I was wrong in saying that there are no passages; I did not see them on my first visit because the audience hid them. Again, in Chapter XVI it is stated that Giovanni Grasso enters in the third act of La Morte Civile, whereas he enters in the second act. I have since seen the play several times, and, though it is tedious, it is not so much so as to justify a spectator in thinking any of its acts long enough for two. In Chapter IV I say that the Government makes an annual profit of £3,000,000 sterling out of the lottery, but I do not say whether this profit is gross or net.

(The Lights o' London and Other Victorian Plays is a new s...)
The Lights o' London and Other Victorian Plays is a new selection of five nineteenth-century English plays, none of which has been recently available in print. Each represents vividly and masterfully the three dominant dramatic forms of the Victorian era: melodrama, farce, and comedy. All were extremely popular with audiences, and much vigour, excitement, and variety of dramatic expression of their time can be found in these texts. Included are Edward Fitzball's The Inchcape Bell; Joseph Stirling Coyne's Did You Ever Send Your Wife to Camberwell?; The Game of Specualtion by George Henry Lewes; George Robert Sims's he Light's 'o London; and The Middleman by Henry Arthur Jones. The texts of the plays have been newly edited and are presented with an introduction and detailed annotation.

(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Jones, Henry Arthur was born on September 28, 1851 in Grandborough, Buckinghamshire. Son of Silvanus Jones, fanner.
Winslow, Buckinghamshire. Honourable Master of Arts.
Graduating Bachelor of Arts in 1873, he was articled to a solicitor. He qualified in the profession in 1876. From 1887, he was Butler"s paid companion and musical collaborator.
Butler had settled in 1864 in Clifford"s Inn, London, where he lived for the rest of his life, dying in 1902.
Jones lived in Barnard"s Inn and Staple Inn during Butler"s lifetime. He advised Butler"s executors (Reginald Worsley, and R A Streatfeild who was literary executor).
He organised annual "Erewhon Dinners" in Butler"s memory, from 1908 to 1914, at the suggestion of Marcus Hartog. P. North. Furbank has criticised the editorial stance Jones took, and the effort to make Butler "respectable", of the years before the Memoir appeared.
In 1910 Jones met Francis Darwin, in an attempt to give closure to the feud between Butler and Charles Darwin that had arisen around 1880.
There resulted his pamphlet Charles Darwin and Samuel Butler: A Step toward Reconciliation (1911). Jones published a well-regarded selection The Note-Books of Samuel Butler (1912), after Desmond MacCarthy had seen the originals, and published extracts in the New Quarterly Review. The editing of this work has been seen as involving false emphasis and polishing of the originals, producing an effect of a "cross between Oscar Wilde and Doctor Johnson".
Jones edited Butler"s works with Augustus Theodore Bartholomew, known as Theo and a librarian and bibliographer in Cambridge, in 20 volumes appearing 1923-1926.
On Bartholomew"s death in 1933, Geoffrey Keynes became his literary executor, taking on also the papers of Jones and Butler, acting with Brian Hill. Through Theo Bartholomew, Jones came to know Siegfried Sassoon, meeting after World War I.
Sassoon and others knew him as "Enrico". They corresponded, and Sassoon found Jones a sympathetic audience.
Bartholomew and Mansfield Forbes visited Jones, and gave him "guru" status.
