PREFACE
THE
THE last three volumes of this History will deal with the
literature of the nineteenth century as a whole, it being
understood that living authors do not fall within the scope of
our work. Though the present volume is published in advance
of volumes XIII and xiv, it is not to be regarded as in any other
respect separated from them. In the case of chapters treating
of subjects more or less outside the range of what is usually
included in a history of literature, we have endeavoured, in
gathering up several threads, to complete the subject in so far as
it could be completed in a single chapter, without observing what
might be deemed to be the chronological limits of the particular
volume-for example, in the present volume, the Oxford move-
ment, the growth of liberal theology and the sections devoted to
scholarship of various kinds. On the other hand, we have not
scrupled to assign distinct portions of the same general subject
-ancient and modern history, for instance—to different volumes.
We hope to publish volumes XIII and xiv together, with as little
delay as possible ; but, under existing circumstances, we cannot
bind ourselves to a definite date. In more ways than
one,
has delayed the appearance of the present volume. The University
Press has been working under great difficulties, caused by
the part taken by a very large proportion of its members in the
service of the country. We have been deprived of the co-
operation of Mr H. V. Routh; two chapters which he had kindly
undertaken to write for the last volumes have had to be placed in
other hands, in consequence of his absence at the front.

Preface
With the exception of a few bibliographies in the present
volume, we have been obliged to forgo the careful services of
Mr A. T. Bartholomew, considerations of health compelling him
to limit his labours. The History and several contributors to
it have been much indebted to his assistance in the past.
Mr G. A. Brown's help has been as valuable as usual, and we
hope he may be able to continue it to the end of the work. We
owe many thanks to Professor J. G. Robertson, of the University
of London, for kindly looking over some bibliographies in the
present volume more particularly concerned with the pro-
ductions of continental literatures ; to Canon S. L. Ollard, for
the bibliography of the chapter on the Oxford movement;
and to Mr Stephen Wheeler for generous help in the Landor
bibliography.
Our last two volumes will contain chapters on education,
scientific writers, daily, weekly and university journalism and
changes in the language, besides an account of Irish, and short
summaries of Anglo-Indian, Canadian, Australian and South
African, literature, in addition to sections on later nineteenth
century writers.
