These seleeta contain 761 of the more than 2600 pages of 1. J. Schoenberg's published articles. The selection made and the grouping in which the papers are presented here reflect most strongly Schoenberg's wishes. The first volume of these seleeta is drawn from Schoenberg's remarkable work on Number Theory, Positive Definite Functions and Metric Geometry, Real and Complex Analysis, and on the Landau Problem. Schoenberg's fundamental papers on Total Pos- itivity and Variation Diminution, on P6lya Frequency functions and sequences, and on Splines, especially Cardinal Splines, make up the second volume. In addition, various commentaries have been provided. Lettered references in these refer to items listed alphabetically at the end of each commentary. Numbered references refer to the list of Schoenberg's publications to be found in each volume. Those included in these seleeta are starred. It has been an honor to have been entrusted with the editorial work for these seleeta. I am grateful to the writers of the various commentaries for their illuminating contributions and to Richard Askey for solid advice.

I. J. Schoenberg
This is the law of the Yukon, and ever she makes it plain:
"Send not your foolish and feeble; send me your strong and your sane--
Strong for the red rage of battle; sane, for I harry them sore;
Send me men girt for the combat, men who are grit to the core;
Swift as the panther in triumph, fierce as the bear in defeat,
Sired of a bulldog parent, steeled in the furnace heat.
-- From "The Law of the Yukon"
Robert Service was born in England, but lived in Canada for much of his life. His poems paint a colorful picture of life in the Yukon and in mining camps and small gritty frontier towns. This book is a collection of some of his poems published between 1907 and 1916 and include poems like:
The Heart of the Sourdough
The Law of the Yukon
The Shooting of Dan McGrew
The Cremation of Sam McGee
The Men That Don't Fit In
The Ballad of One-Eyed Mike
The Ballad of Hard-Luck Henry
Clancy of the Mounted Police
Barb-Wire Bill
The Squaw Man
These are great poems and ballads about tough guys out in the Yukon, mining for gold or just living out in the wilderness. Every poem is epic, whether it's about the rugged beauty of the rugged or about a guy who took out a contract to bury a man after he died, regardless of where he was.
