Having been enabled by the kindness of the public to get through an unusually large edition of ‘Erewhon’ in a very short time, I have taken the opportunity of a second edition to make some necessary corrections, and to add a few passages where it struck me that they would be appropriately introduced; the passages are few, and it is my fixed intention never to touch the work again. I may perhaps be allowed to say a word or two here in reference to ‘The Coming Race,’ to the success of which book ‘Erewhon’ has been very generally set.
