General Preface
retirement through ill-health (happily only temporary) his place was not
filled up. The present editors are, therefore, Professor Gwatkin and
Mr Whitney. They wish to place on record their grateful thanks for
the helpful advice which Professor Bury has always been ready to give
them when requested ; but it should be understood that the editors are
alone responsible for the matter contained in each volume, for the
selection of the writers of the various chapters and for the general
treatment of the subjects discussed.
It is hoped to publish two volumes yearly in regular succession.
