The Inn of Tranquillity: Studies and Essays
By John Galsworthy
The Inn of Tranquillity: Studies and Essays is a collection of
short stories, essays, and other pieces that was originally issued
in 1912. Most of these pieces were originally published in periodicals,
including the
Fortnightly Review, Scribner's Magazine,
English Review, Atlantic Monthly,
Century Magazine, Nation,
Eye-Witness, and Daily News.
Project Gutenberg has recently released a set of four files
titled "Studies and Essays" which contains the pieces in this collection,
although using a different ordering and organization from
the original collection. Below, we give the Gutenberg ordering, and
then show the ordering that was used in the original collection.
Project Gutenberg has also recently released a file with the entire
contents, in a slightly different order from below. (I'm not sure
what edition they're basing this ordering on.) You can find it
here.

This is a "meta-book", which stitches together separate files elsewhere
on the Web as they appeared in a previously published book. It is
subject to removal if someone produces an integrated edition; if this
happens, the

will point to the integrated version. For questions, and comments,
