IN our Essay and Notes in the present Volume we so fully state such things as it seemed expedient to state on the specialties of our collection of Crashaw's Latin and Greek Poetry, in common with our like collection of his English Poetry in Vol. I., that little remains for preface here, beyond our wish renewedly to express our gratitude and obligations to our fellow-workers on the Translations now submitted.

Preeminently I owe thanks to my 'brother beloved,' the Rev. RICHARD WILTON, M. A., Londesborough Rectory, Market Weighton. On the text of the Latin and Greek I refer to the close of our Essay; but I must acknowledge willing and scholarly help, on certain points whereon I consulted them, from Rev. Dr. HOLDEN, Ipswich, Rev. Dr. |
