for which I would express to them my sincere thanks. I did not, however, depend solely upon these works, but made an independent bibliography from the beginning-a plan which not infrequently turned up invaluable old sources not before employed. To my friend, President William R. Harper, for his interest in this enterprise, and his unfailing support in arranging for my repeated absence in Europe for the prosecution of these studies, I owe a debt of gratitude. Likewise to the Board of Trustees of the University of Chicago, for the same privileges, it is an agreeable duty to express my appreciation here. Finally my thanks are due the staff of the University of Chicago Press for unremitting attention to the difficult typographical work of these volumes-an attention to which the appearance of the work is of itself sufficient evidence. I should add that circumstances entirely beyond my control have obliged me to read the proofs of the volumes very rapidly, and it is probable that they contain more typographical errors due to this fact than I could wish. For great assistance in reading the proofs I am indebted to my brother-in-law Dr. R. S. Padan, and for like aid to my wife and her sister, Miss Imogen Hart.
