The woman IN white has been received with such marked favour by a very large circle of readers, that this volume scarcely stands in need Of any prefatory introduction on my part. All that it is necessary for me to say may be summed up in a few words. I have endeavoured, by careful correction and revision, to make my story as worthy as I could of a continuance of the public approval. Certain technical errors which had escaped me while I was writing the book are here rectified. None of these little blemishes in the slightest degree interfered with the interest of the narrative — but it was as well to remove them at the first Opportunity, out Of respect to my readers and in this edition, accordingly, they exist no more.
