- "Copyright, 1916, by L. E. Bassett."
- "The plays offered to the English reading public in this volume are not presented as the crowning achievement of a national stage which is ready to assume its place among the great theatres of the world. The purpose of their publication is rather to show the present stage of development in a dramatic literature which bids fair to give articulate expression to the esthetic sense of a widely scattered people whose social isolation has preserved to them traditions, customs and habits of thought which, with but slight variation, have persisted from the earliest period of recorded history and are alien to the people among whom they dwell."--Publisher's Note.
