Excerpt from Two of the Saxon Chronicles Parallel, Vol. 1: With Supplementary Extracts From the Others; Text, Appendices and Glossary
My thanks to the many friends who have helped me and who are helping me with my work I defer. Three names I must, however, mention. In the first place I must thank Professor Earle, to whom I owe my original introduction to anglo-saxon studies, for the generosity with which he consented to the re casting of his work by a younger hand, and not less for un tiring help and sympathy throughout the work. I must thank Professor Napier, who has for this, as for the smaller edition, most kindly read the proofs of the glossary, and made very many useful corrections and suggestions. He is not, however, in the slightest degree responsible for the general arrangement and execution of the glossary. And I must thank the Reverend J. T. Lang, m.a., Fellow and Tutor of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, who, when I went to Cambridge to collate the Parker ms., received me, a perfect stranger, as if I had been an old friend. To his hospitality and kindness, and that of his colleagues, I owe many pleasant associations. It is a matter of genuine satisfaction to me that my first real experience of Cambridge life should have been in connection with the College which bears the same name as my own.
