Excerpt from Sir Walter Raleigh: Selections From His Historie of the World, His Letters, Etc
HE text of Letter II (pp. 177 - 81) is printed from the only known ms. In All Souls' College Library by the kind permission of the Librarian, Professor Oman. To Mr. Percy Simpson I am indebted for the most careful revision of the text of the Selections throughout. He has contributed the section dealing with this in the Introduction and also the critical notes on the text, the facsimile letter, and the map. In fact, my debt to him is not for assistance but for collaboration, and I gladly take this opportunity to express my warm gratitude for all that this little book owes to his scholarship. Cordial thanks are also due to Mr. Frederick Page, who checked the text of letters which are printed from mss. In the British Museum and the Public Record Office.
