I hoped that though imperfect they might be found of service to persons who would be able to use the material. And in this expectation I have not been mistaken, and must here thank the kindly critics who have at different times given me private encouragement. I must also profess my acknowledgement to the well-known and exemplary I nventairessommaires of the libraries of Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, and thel Notes on the MSS. of the British Museum of M.
