Biographical Sketch

“ A Window in Thrums,” containing articles
originally contributed to The British Weekly, St.
Fames Gazette, and the National Observer, as well
as new matter, was published in book form in
May, 1889, and by many is considered the best
of the author’s earlier works.

“My Lady Nicotine,” which originally ap-
peared in the St. Fames Gazette, is one of his first
books, but it was not published in book form
until April, 1890, when it was issued principally
to assert Mr. Barrie’s authorship, it having been
attributed to other writers.

In 1891 “The Little Minister” appeared in
Good Words, and the same year was issued in
book form.

The author’s later works are “Sentimental
Tommy” and “ Margaret Ogilvy,’ both of
which were published in 1896, the former appear-
ing as a serial in Scribner's Magazine.

Mr. Barrie owes his fame to his vivid and
pathetic delineation of lowly Scotch life, in which
he has no equal.
