London:
September, 1891.
AUTHORITIES
Not a few readers and critics, who have been so kind as to speak otherwise only too favourably of the book, have intimated that its value would be increased by references to the authorities.
In compliance with the suggestion, the author now prints the list—a formidable one. He has drawn it up in a form which, he hopes, may enable students without much difficulty to trace the sources of the statements in the text.
The figures in the parentheses ( ) after the title of each authority are the date of the original edition, where that is not the one cited. The figures which follow give the date of the edition actually referred to. The brackets [ ] after the pages of the Life contain the pages, or volumes and pages, of the cited works.
Example—
D'Israeli, Isaac, Cur. Lit.
(1791-1834), date of original edition.
ed. B. Disraeli, 1849, date of edition referred to.
79, page of Life.
[iii. 140], volume and page of Cur. Lit.
