Excerpt from The Age of Chaucer, 1346-1400 IN compiling the present work the author has attempted to lay under contribution the labours of his predecessors in the same field, availing himself of the newest lights, but not wholly neglecting the old. Thus, whilehe has leant heavily on Professor Skeat, as every student of the period must, he has not quite forgotten Tyrwhitt. The industry of foreign scholars also has been made to pro mote whatever utility the Age of Chaucer may be con sidered to possess - for example, Ten Brink. With regard to Piers Plowman, M. Jusserand's careful and charming l'e'pope'e Mystique de William Langland has been found invaluable; and other writings of the same author have been advantageously consulted. The writer's Obligations have been, in general, acknowledged in the text, and therefore need not be recapitulated further. He must, however, record his warm appreciation of Professor Hales's courtesy and helpfulness. Without his wise counsel it is certain the book would have been far more imperfect. Although the contrast may operate to his disadvantage, the author feels a special pleasure in the inclusion of a full introduction by Mr. Hales, inasmuch as Mr. Hales's edition of Milton's Areopagitica was his present colla borator's first real lesson in English literature.
