The Editor wishes to acknowledge his indebted ness to several friends for much helpful advice, as well as to Mr. V. H. Collins, of the Oxford University Press, who suggested the idea of the Anthology in the first instance, and to Mr. J. C. Smith, to whom in great part is due the shape which the book has finally taken, and who throughout its preparation has placed at the service of Editor and Publisher the invaluable help of his taste and erudition.
