Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Pars Tertia of the Otiuvi Norvicense. They are here reprinted, with additions which may be classified under two heads :first, notes which Dr Field at his death left in the final stages of their preparation for publication, and, secondly, supplementary illustrations from classical sources which he had jotted down in the margin of his own copy of the Otium. Additions of the first class will be found in their due order marked by asterisks, while those of the second class are placed as footnotes and enclosed in square brackets. For aid in the selection of these additions, and in the verification of references, I owe many thanks to the Reverend J. Armitage Robinson, D.D., late Norrisian Professor of Divinity in this University, now Canon of Westminster; to W. Aldis Wright, Esq., M.A., Vice-M aster of Trinity College ;and to the Reverend C. A. Phillips, M.A., of King s College ;but I am, of course, myself responsible for all errors which may be found in the rejjroduction of the notes or the verification of the references.
(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
