It remains for us to thank all those who have helped us to see the book through the Press. The Principal of Brasenose, Dr H. M. Last, gave us encouragement and advice from the beginning and found the time to read a set of proofs. Another of Professor Baynes' friends, Mr H. St. L. B. Moss, consented to prepare the Index. We also received much help in proof- reading from Professor Joan Hussey, Miss M. S. Drower, Mr R. Browning and Dr J. Morris. Finally we are greatly indebted to the personal interest in this book shown by the secretary to the Athlone Press, Mr W. D. Hogarth. Department of History, R. A.
