Book Description
Excerpt from The Sources of the British Chronicle History in Spencer's Faerie Queene The following study, practically as it stands, was presented as a dissertation to the Faculty of Bryn Mawr College in 1908 in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The subject was suggested by Professor J. Douglas Bruce, formerly at Bryn Mawr College and now at the University of Tennessee, and the work was begun under his direction. It was continued at intervals during several years, whenever opportunity offered. The results were submitted to Professor Carleton F. Brown and Dr. Percy W. Long, to whose criticism and suggestion the present form is due. Professor Brown has continued to assist me in all the various stages of the work, and I cannot state too strongly my sense of obligation to him. Professor Bruce has also read the manuscript and has made valuable suggestions, of which I have availed myself in revision. To him and to Dr. Long, as well as to Professor Brown, I wish to express my gratitude. At the same time I wish to thank the Librarian of the Harvard College Library and especially Mr. T. J. Kiernan, Superintendent of the Department of Circulation, who have extended to me for many years the privileges of that library, without which this investigation could not have been carried on. I wish also to thank Mr. J. P. Morgan for his great courtesy in allowing me to work in his library for several days, and thus giving me access to the invaluable Chronicle by Caxton, which I could not otherwise have seen.
