- "The subject which Mrs. Wharton treated in 'The Buccaneers' had long attracted her, and she often discussed its possibilities with some of her friends ... Once she had begun to write she moved on an irregular front ... this was the easier for her, as she knew from the outset her objective and the path that led to it. Both are plainly described in a preliminary plan or synopsis of the book which has happily survived, and will be found at the end of this volume ... The novel is printed from the manuscript which she kept by her for reference and revision and gives, therefore, the last word she was able to say as to the form and phrasing of the text ..."--Preface signed G. L.
