In the preparation of this ms. For publication my thanks are in the first place due to Miss Lavinia Mary Anstey, without whose untiring perseverance, capacity for solid work of a nature uninteresting in itself, and accuracy and energy in research and in the copying of documents, cheerfully undertaken and spread over a period of five years, this edition would have been impossible.
