PREFATORY NOTE
THE
THE late Mr D. C. Tovey's chapter on Gray, as well as the
accompanying bibliography, reached us a very short time
before his lamented death; and the proofs were not seen by him.
Mr Tovey's contribution to this History represents his last labour
upon a subject which he had gradually made his own, and with
which his name will always be associated in the minds of all lovers
of English literature, and especially of members of his own and
Gray's university.
We have to thank Mr A. T. Bartholomew, of Peterhouse and
the University Library, for contributing to this volume the
bibliographies to which his initials are appended, and for other
assistance chiefly of a bibliographical nature.
