Excerpt from A Village Priest

My Dear Tree, - The pleasant recollection of our long friendship has, to a certain extent, prompted me to dedicate this translation to you. My main motive, however, was to thank you for having been the practical pioneer of a principle I advocated when I had the honour to be a dramatic critic.

In the plays you have hitherto produced you have virtually left Frenchmen and Germans and other foreigners in their habit as they live, instead of foolishly transforming them into Englishmen in deference to a mistaken dramatic exclusivism which thinks humanity out of England not worth studying, or illustrating, and which, moreover, is subversive of all dramatic art. For having set this prejudice at naught, the public and the dramatic student are already greatly indebted to you; and it is to show what may really be done in the way of sterling adaptation by the skilful playwright, backed up by the intellectual and artistic actor-manager, that I translated the original story on which "A Village Priest" is founded, and that I am delighted to associate your name with my work.
