Wilde states in the preface printed here for the first time that: "The reprinting of this paper is all the more desirable as some of the views set forth therein have been modified by subsequent investigatiors without advancing much beyond what had already been accomplished; while in other instances there has been a distinct retrogression from the solid position which chemical philosophy had attained more than forty years ago."

This collection of aphorisms was originally written for and published in the first and only issue of the Oxford University magazine The Chameleon Vol. 1 No. 1 December 1894 the successor to "The Spirit Lamp." One of Wilde's recent biographers Joseph Pearce notes that these aphorisms undoubtedly have "an air of subversive decadence that undermined conventional values." Mr. Wilde's opening observation is a good example: "The first duty in life is to be as artificial as possible. What the second duty is no one has as yet discovered." The present work is in fact a pirated edition see Mason of which several variations are known. The limitation notes: "of this work seventy-five copies have been printed for private circulation" this being copy no. 35 noted in black ink.
