Jarrold and Sons

.....倍因所译育珂的小说都由伦敦书店Jarrold and Sons出版，这家书店似乎很热心于刊行这种异书，而且装订十分讲究.我有倍因译的《育珂短篇集》，又长篇《白蔷薇》（原文A Feher Rozsa，英译改称Halil the Pedlar），及波兰洛什微支女士（Marya Rodziewicz）的小说各一册，都是六先令本，但极为精美，在小说类中殊为少见。匈加利密克扎特（Kalman Mikzsath）小说《圣彼得的雨伞》译本，有倍因的序，波思尼亚穆拉淑微支女士（Milena Mrazovic）小说集《问讯》，亦是这书店的出版，此外又刊有奥匈人赖希博士（Emil Reich）的《匈加利文学史论》，这在戈斯所编《万国文学史丛书》中理特耳（F.Riedl）教授之译本未出以前，恐怕要算讲匈加利文学的英文书中唯一 善本了。

好几年前听说这位倍因先生已经死了，Jarrold and Sons的书店不知道还开着没有，──即使开着，恐怕也不再出那样奇怪而精美可喜的书了罢？但是我总不能忘记他们。倘若教我识字的是我的先生，教我知道读 书的也应该是，无论见不见过面，那么R.Nisbet Bain 就不得不算一位，因为他教我爱好弱小民族的不见经传的作品，使我在文艺里找出一点滋味来，得到一块安息的地方，——倘若不如此，此刻我或者是在什么地方做 军法官之流也说不定罢？
