and I should be liappy to recognize such courtesy by retumiug a copy 

 of the whole Bibliography as soou as published. 



In couductiug this work, I habitually regard The Title as inviolable, 

 — to be transcribed in fall, veyhatlm, literatim et punatuatim. In the case 

 of a book, this means a transcript of the title-page, with vertical bars 

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

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

 I give the full title, with the page on wliich the article ends as well as 

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

 ary or requisite bibliographical data. Different 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 Bibliography has been taJcen 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 Newton, of Mag- 

 dalene College, Cambridge.

Tbo matter of tbeso two editions is sulistantially tbe same, if not identical, but the type 

 appears to liave been I'eset tbrougliont ; tlio title and collation differ, as will be seen on com- 

 paring them. Till! Government I'riutiiig Oliice lias no font that will exactly reproduce the 

 Greek quotation of tliii 16GG ed., though coming very neiir it; moreover, the orthography and 

 accentuation of the motto differ in the two eds. — T\w orig. ed. must be very rare ; Engelraann 

 does not give it, citing the ed. of 1667 as tht; first, and noting another of 1704. There is a copy 

 of each of the two earlier eds. in the Pliil.a. .\< ad. l.ibr.
