It remains for the editor to acknowledge his obligations to the friends who in various ways have assisted him in his work.

Soon after he commenced his undertaking, he was fortunate enough to obtain the assistance of the Rev. Alexander Taylor, Michel Fellow of Queen's College, in Oxford, who laboured with him in verifying the author's references with so much diligence and success, that the publishers gladly committed to his hands the

last two volumes of the Series, when Mr. Eden, on ceasing to reside

in the University, was unable to proceed with them himself.

The distribution of the work then will be as follows:-For the first eight volumes Mr. Eden is responsible, though with valuable assistance received from Mr. Taylor, in verifying the references of volumes ii. to vii. The remaining two volumes, containing the Ductor Dubitantium, were entirely prepared by Mr. Taylor; Mr. Eden's share in them consisting only in reading over the sheets once in their passage through the press.

To enumerate all the other friends who have assisted the editor, would be impossible; he must, however, mention in particular the Librarians of the Bodleian Library, the Rev. Edward Marshall, late Fellow of Corpus Christi College, in Oxford, and John Kent, Esq., of Frome. And if in a work extending over several years, other names have escaped him which are scarcely less entitled to mention than the above, he hopes that this apology will be accepted for the

omission.
