A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A i this volume is in some sort the work of two editors, it is desirable to set forth, as precisely as possible, the responsibility of each. When, to the sincere regret of all lovers of scholarship, Mr. Doble unwillingly relinquished the task of editing Hearne s Remarks and Collections, he made over to me a series of transcripts, of which the first represented vol. xli of the original MS. and the last vol. li the volume containing the notice of the death of Queen A nne. Certain of the intervening volumes, viz. vols. xlv, xlvi, and xlvii, were not transcribed; and transcripts of these volumes were subsequently made under my direction. The mere record of transcription, however, does not exhaust the subject of divided responsibility. The principle on which Hearne swork has been edited is clearly expressed in the preface to the first volume, where Mr. Doble says: I have sought to include all the matter of the original which seemed to me in any way interesting, and to summarize what was not worth printing in full. In other words, the principle has been one of selection; and wherever there is selection there is a wide field for the exercise of editorial judgement. From the very first, Mr. Doble was good enough to invite my reconsideration of his selection; but it will be readily understood with how much diffidence an inexperienced editor, following one so distinguished, draws his pen through pages which have been laboriously transcribed, even when frankly invited to do so, if he thinks fit. In the course of looking through Mr. Doble stranscripts, as well as in giving directions for my own, it certainly seemed to me that there was a good deal which was not in any way interesting and was, therefore, not worth publishing.
