XIV THE PREFACE.
Library, my best thanks are likewise due, as I had afterwards
frequent occasion to consult that MS. while engaged in prepa-
ring the following sheets for the press.
It will thus appear that the materials for this edition were col-
lected several years ago ; and were laid aside for a time, partly
with a fond hope that further research, or accident, might bring
to light additional matter, so as to render the work more worthy
of public notice and of Dunbar. Even after the printing of the
text was completed, various delays have intervened to retard its
appearance, to whicli I should not have alluded, had it not
been for the circumstance that the present volumes, while in
an unfinished state, have been quoted in works which were
pubhshed long previous to this date.
