Excerpt from The Evolution of the Canterbury TalesDuring the years 1903 - 6, the Society's Editors did not enable it to issue any Text except the short No. 36, the Four Days' Journey from London to Canterbury and back of the Aragonese Ambassadors in 1415. But several Subscribers generously continued to pay their Subscriptions, so that the Society has now rather more than �0 in hand to pay for its issues of 1903, 1904, 1905, 1906 and 1907, five years. These issues will be dated 1907 or 1908, &c., , the year in which they are sent out, but about �0 worth of work will be assigned to each of the back years in which no Text was issued. The present volume, Prof. Tatlock's Development and Chronology of Chaucer's Works, will be taken as the second Text for 1903. It is hoped that Prof. M皁ormick will soon issue two vols. For 1904, and Miss Spurgeon and Miss Fox one - the Chaucer Allusions, 1360 - 1900, Pt. I - for 1905, with Prof. Syphard's work on The Haas of Fame, which has been for some months in the printers' hands. So far as is possible, the money paid in for every year will be spent on Texts for that year, and these Texts will be sent to the payers of the money.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
