Excerpt from The Aberdeen Printers, Vol. 4: Edward Raban to James Nicol, 1620 1736; Historical Notices, &C Library there. Many of the most valuable additions and corrections were supplied by him. From the officials of the British Museum, especially Dr. Garnett and Mr. J. P. Anderson, I have always received the greatest attention. During my short stay in Oxford, the Librarian and assistant-librarians of the Bodleian did everything in their power to help me. To the late Mr. Henry Bradshaw, Librarian of the University of Cambridge, I owe more than I can find words to express. Encouragement at the commencement, direction while in progress, and commendation bestowed in unmeasured terms - all this I received from the friend whose opinion I valued above all others.

More than fifty specialists have contributed to this new edition of volume 2 of The Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature. The design of the original work has established itself so firmly as a workable solution to the immense problems of analysis, articulation and coordination that it has been retained in all its essentials for the new edition. The task of the new contributors has been to revise and integrate the lists of 1940 and 1957, to add materials of the following decade, to correct and refine the bibliographical details already available, and to re-shape the whole according to a new series of conventions devised to give greater clarity and consistency to the entries.
