and 1 sliould be luippy to recoguizc sucli courtesy by returning- a copy 

 of the whole Bibliography as soou as published. 



lu couducting this work, I habitually regard The Title as inviolable, 

 — to be transcribed in full, verhatm, literatim et xnmotuatim. In the case 

 of a book, this means a traus(!ript of the title-page, with vertical bars 

 ( j ) to indicate the adjustment of the typography. With this is given 

 the complete collation. In the cases of papers published in periodicals, 

 I gWv tlie full title, -with the page on which the article ends as well as 

 that on which it begins, with illustrations if any — in short, all custom- 

 ary or requisite l)ibliographical data. Difterent editions of the same 

 work, even if identical, are regarded as separate publications. 



Except in certain cases, where the contrary is expressly stated, no 

 title in this Bihlioijraphij has been tal-en at second-hand. 



Many friends, both in England .and in my own country, have been 

 pleased to express their interest in this work, and their hope for its 

 successful completion. To each of them, I beg to tender my sincere 

 thanks : and I may be permitted here to refer, in an especial manner, 

 to the encouragement, advice and assistance which I have constantly- 

 received, during years of toil, from Professor Alfred Kewton, of Mag- 

 dalene College, Cambridge.

The matter of these two editions is substantially the same, if not identical, but the type 

 appears to bav(v b(tcu reset throughout : the title and ctdlatiou differ, as v.'ill be seen on com- 

 paring them. Tlie Government T'rinting Office has no font that will exactly reproduce the 

 Greek quotation of the IGOU ed., though coming very near it ; moreover, the orthography and 

 accentuation of the motto differ in the 1 wo eds.— The orig. <>d. must be very rare ; Engelmann 

 does not give it, citing the ed. of 10(37 as the lir.st. and noting another of 1704. There is a copy 

 of each of the two earlier eds. in the I'liila. Acad. Libr.
