goes with it. For his gift to the Harvard College Library of his
collection of Coleridge editions, manuscripts, and marginalia
came at a strategic moment in these investigations, and his con-
tinued generosity contributed, like the support of a friend, to
the later stages of this study, and has particularly enriched the
notes. And the additions to the collection made in his memory
by Mrs. Norton Perkins and by his classmate, the late C. C.
Stillman, Esq., have enhanced my debt.

At the British Museum I owe many courtesies to Mr. J. A.
Herbert and the officials of the Manuscript Department. And
without the wealth of documents and the large freedom of the
Harvard College Library -- with which must always be as-
sociated the cordial and unstinted coöperation of its officers
(very specially Mr. Walter B. Briggs) and its attendants --
there could really have been no book at all.

The deepest debt of all, however, must remain, save for the
dedication, unexpressed.
