Excerpt from Gaston De Latour: An Unfinished Romance

"Gaston de Latour" was probably begun by Mr. Pater not long after the completion of "Marius." Five chapters appeared successively in Macmillan s Magazine in the months of June to October 1889. One more chapter appeared, as an independent article, in the Fortnightly Review for August 1889, under the title of "Giordano Bruno." This article was afterwards largely revised, and marked Chapter VII., as it is here printed. Some portions of other chapters, intended to form part of the romance, have been found among Mr. Pater's manuscripts: they are for the most part unfinished: and they have certainly not received that revision which he would have been careful to give them before he allowed them to appear among his published writings.
