- "With seven or eight exceptions, every item included ... has already been described in the full catalogue of the Ashley library. But in that work all are not to be found together. Certain books ... documents ... and letters ... had of necessity to be entered under the names of their respective authors. I have found satisfaction in gathering them all into one complete and distinctive group."--Pref., p. vii.
