CRITICAL ESSAYS AND LITERARY FRAGMENTS WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY J. CHURTON COLLINS 1903 PUBLISHERS' NOTE The texts contained in the present volume are reprinted with very slight alterations from the _English Garner_ issued in eight volumes (1877-1890, London, 8vo.) by Professor Arber, whose name is sufficient guarantee for the accurate collation of the texts with the rare originals, the old spelling being in most cases carefully modernised. The contents of the original _Garner_ have been rearranged and now for the first time classified, under the general editorial supervision of Mr. Thomas Seccombe. Certain lacunae have been filled by the interpolation of fresh matter. The Introductions are wholly new and have been written specially for this issue. The references to volumes of the _Garner_ (other than the present volume) are for the most part to the editio princeps, 8 vols.
