Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reliquiae Hearnianae, Vol. 1: The Remains of Thomas Hearne, M.A. Of Edmund Hall; Being Extracts From His Ms. Diaries, Collected With a Few Notes About forty years since, when a young Fellow of St. John´s College, and intimately conversant with the Bodleian Library, the editor meditated, and partly printed, these Extracts from Hearne´s Diaries. First, appointed to a post in the British Museum, then recalled to Oxford, and soon after elected to an important and laborious office in the University, the hook, which had been suddenly stopped, was entirely abandoned; and although it had proceeded nearly to 600 pages, the editor never found opportunity to resume it, till within the last few months; when ill health, added to bodily infirmity, had induced him to resign his University office, and confine himself altogether to his duties at St. Mary Hall. So far, to account for the delay in publication, and the renewal of the project now. In compliance with Hearne´s practice, as well as with the literary taste of 1817 for scarce books, it was proposed to print only 150 small, and 50 large, paper, of these Remains; and the intention has been rigidly adhered to.
