	James Payn
		Payn himself was more interesting than any of his novels, and more of a "character" than any of his fictitious personages, though he was, in his virtues and in his defects, only a typical Englishman of his class — one of those who value above all things what is sensible and what is sincere.
		Of course I made a guess at Payn when he invited me to visit him at Folkestone, where, one summer in the early eighties, he was sharing a villa near the Lees with Sir John Robinson, then manager of the Daily News, who was one of the most devoted and intimate of his friends.
		Payn was always playful, but it is not for me to cross-examine his stories, and others will lose rather than gain by insisting on proof.

	Sir Leslie Stephen - LoveToKnow 1911
		At his father's house he saw a good deal of the Abolitionists and other members of the Clapham sect, and the Macaulays, James Spedding, Sir Henry Taylor and Nassau Senior were intimate friends of his family.
		In the same year he was appointed editor of the Cornhill Magazine, the reputation of which he maintained by enlisting R. Stevenson, Thomas Hardy, W. Norris, Henry James and James Payn among his contributors.
		In the autumn of 1882 he abandoned the direction of the Cornhill to James Payn, having accepted the more responsible duty of the editor of the Dictionary of National Biography, for the first planning and conception of which he was largely responsible.

	Fictionwise eBooks: Selected Prose of Oscar Wilde by Oscar Wilde
		Rider Haggard, who really has, or had once, the makings of a perfectly magnificent liar, he is now so afraid of being suspected of genius that when he does tell us anything marvellous, he feels bound to invent a personal reminiscence, and to put it into a footnote as a kind of cowardly corroboration.
		Henry James writes fiction as if it were a painful duty, and wastes upon mean motives and imperceptible 'points of view" his neat literary style, his felicitous phrases, his swift and caustic satire.
		James Payn is an adept in the art of concealing what is not worth finding.

		Collins set a standard of orderly and well-knit narrative at a time when both the example of the masters of fiction and the methods of publication, whether in parts or by instalments in magazines, tended to chaotic construction.
		Writers such as James Payn, Miss Braddon and Sir Walter Besant have this skill in composition and combine with it miscellaneous gifts of humour, observation and power to hold attention.
		But, in the case of these writers, however talented they may be, we are conscious that the impulse which began about 1848 is exhausted.

	Carnochan
		Before Comte, in 1844, one James Pycroft, an Oxford graduate and an ordained minister who early abandoned his ministry but who never gave up his lifelong addiction to cricket, had published A Course of English Reading, Adapted to Every Taste and Capacity: with Anecdotes of Men of Genius.
		This continuity of value over the last century may be thought reassuring, troublesome, or a mixture of both, all depending on one's point of view.
		Payn's views of Eton and Cambridge are reported by Leslie Stephen in James Payn, The Backwater of Life, or Essays of a Literary Veteran, intro.

		James Payn was already confined to the house by the beginnings of what proved to be his last illness.
		His host of friends did what they could to relieve the tedium of his suffering days; and the only contribution which I could make was to tell him at my weekly visits anything interesting or amusing which I collected from the reperusal of my diary.
		They were received more kindly than I had any right to expect; and early in 1898 I reproduced them in the present volume--just too late to offer it, except in memory, to dear James Payn.
