Excerpt from Songs, Carols, and Other Miscellaneous Poems: From the Balliol Ms. 354, Richard Hill's Commonplace-Book In publishing this volume, it is my duty to gratefully state manifold obligations: first of all, to the authorities of both Balliol College and the Bodleian Library, for facilitating the use and copying of the MS. in the reading-room of the latter, to its sub-librarian, Mr. Falconer Madan, for palaeographical instruction, to Dr. James Morison, Oxford, for kindly collating proofs with the MS., to Dr. J. H. Wylie as well as my American friends Professor F. M. Padelford (of Washington State University) and Dr. H. N. MacCracken (of Harvard) for useful information on particulars, - finally, and above all, to Dr. Henry Bradley and Dr. F. J. Furnivall, for help and encouragement in every way. Dr. Bradley's valuable contributions to my glossary are recorded in it, of Dr. Furnivall's experienced hand it will be easy to discern characteristic touches on almost every page of the book. Fond remembrances of a hundred proofs of kindness and hospitality are connected for me with the names of the two great English scholars last mentioned, and it is to express a deep feeling of gratitude for what they and all my other English friends have done by me during my first stay in their country, that I venture to offer this volume, which opens the second hundred of the Extra Series, as a birthday present to the Founder of the Early English Text Society.
