A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Preface. Guildhall Library has laid me under lasting obligations, as has also the late Mayor of Dorchester, Alfred Pope, Esq. Last, but not least, a tribute of thankfulness from every bookmaker and reader at the British Museum is due to the officials of that noble I nstitution, from the Head of the Staff to the youngest member thereof. I have been a reader for many years and have always received the greatest courtesy and assistance from all, and this is the more marked, inasmuch as I am scarcely known, individually, even by name to any one of them. All the virtues of this book, therefore, do not belong to me, though, unquestionablyy the faults do. Trusting, therefore, that the public and my friends wiU Be to its virtues very kind. And to its faults a little blind, I launch the venture on the wave of public opinion to sink or swim on its own merits. W. T. M. Balham, January 18.88. P.S. I began cotteclmg material for the following work years ago; and In May 1884 commenced a leriej of article JI nthe Burton Chronicle. Tim terlet ran ahout twelve months and uembodied In the present work. During the time this hook has been passing through the press I have seen from reviews thai two scholarly books The Curiosities of A le and Beers of the Bible have appeared I have carefully avoided reading either of them, f Vhen three writers take up a similar sulject they must necessarily traverse the same ground to a great extent; and though I might have enriched my pages at their expense by conveyancing I trust Jhave avoided any charge or even suspicion plagiarism.
