Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from A Chosen Few: Short Stories The bare-legged boy, whose duty it was to stay forward and mind the Jib, came aft as soon as he smelt a story, and took a nautical position which was duly studied by Mr. Nugent, on a bag of ballast in the bottom of the boat.

"Of the best - his wit is ever nimble." -The New York Times "The man who invented the immortal and unsolvable problem of 'The Lady or the Tiger?' and wrote the thrilling dubious account of 'The Wreck of the 'Thomas Hyde,'' deserves to have his fame perpetuated in as many forms as a sympathetic public will encourage the grateful publishers to devise. The reappearance of six of the best of his short yarns in this pleasing edition is, therefore, most appropriate. We say 'of the best,' but it is difficult to discriminate between Stockton's stories, long or short. He rarely if ever fails to hit the mark, and with the most trifling subjects he produces literature. His workmanship is of uniform excellence, his fancy always seems ready for flight." -The Book News Monthly "A very representative selection of short stories from the work of Mr. Stockton under the title 'A Chosen Few.'" -New Outlook "A delightful group of the author's characteristic stories....As an introduction to a fuller acquaintance with Stockton this pretty volume serves an excellent purpose." -the Atlantic "If it were only because of the story, 'The Remarkable Wreck of the 'Thomas Hyke'' I would recommend the buying of Mr. Stockton's book, 'A Chosen Few,' for young readers. But there are others, as is irreverently remarked, and the older young folks - those of about the age at which the 'Waverley Novels' were once read - will find a wholly delicious quality in these six earlier stories by the author of 'The Great War Syndicate' and "Ting-a-Ling Tales.' No boy who has been sent shopping by his mother will fail to appreciate the little sketch, "A Piece of Red Calico,' now first printed under Mr. Stockton's name." -The Independent "The very cream of Mr. Stockton's humor...Mr. Stockton's bid for the regard of posterity rests not a little on these tales, and we could only wish for him that all we had written were as good." -The Critic "Nine short stories selected by the author as representative of his best-known work in this line. Taken for all in all, one has Mr. Stockton at his best in this book." -Boston Beacon CONTENTS A Tale of Negative Gravity (From "The Christmas Wreck"" Asaph (From "The Watchmaker's Wife") "His Wife's Deceased Sister" (From "The Lady, or the Tiger?") The Lady, or the Tiger? The Remarkable Wreck of the "Thomas Hyke" (From "The Christmas Wreck") Old Pipes and the Dryad (From "The Bee-man of Orn") The Transferred Ghost (From "The Lady, or the Tiger?") "The Philosophy of Relative Existences" (From "The Watchmaker's Wife") A Piece of Red Calico (From "The Lady, or the Tiger?")
