In a work like the present, where numer' ous foot-notes would be out of place, I am obliged to con' tent myself with this general acknowledgment. I may add that I have also referred to several other authorities, both printed and in manuscript; and, in some cases, I be lieve that my account will be found more precise than that given in the larger biographies.
