The writings by John Galsworthy present include disbound pages from The Burning Spear (London, Chatto & Windus, 1919) title page and pp. 7-20; Five Tales (London: Heinemann, 1918) "Indian Summer of a Forsyte," pp. 289-350; The Inn of Tranquility (London: Heinemann, 1919) pp. 203-278; Saint's Progress (London: Heinemann, 1919) pp. 1-392; and A Sheaf (London: Heinemann, 1916) pp. 129-146.
