Excerpt from A Life of Robert Cecil: First Earl of Salisbury This book, like all books of the kind, has put me under very heavy obligations. To Lord Salisbury I am especially indebted for permission to see and to make use of the vast collection of mss. At Hatfield, of which even a larger number bear upon the life of Robert Cecil than upon that of his father. Part of these are now accessible to the public through the Calendar published by the Historical Manuscripts Commission; but several volumes of the Calendar are not as yet in print, and I am very much more than grateful to the Historical Manuscripts Com missioners for allowing me to read through these in the rough, and particularly to Sir Edward Fry and Mr. R. A. Roberts for promoting my application to do so. Permission was granted to me on the under standing that I should only transcribe passages for citation from the original documents, and I have tried faithfully to carry out this regulation.
