Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Itinerary of John Leland, Vol. 1 of 3: In or About the Years 1535-1543 A Few words seem to be necessary in explanation of the present publication, a work which was hardly my own choice. Several years ago Mr. G. L. Gomme projected a new and popular edition of Leland´s "Itinerary" in England and Wales, for which I undertook merely to collate the edition printed by Thomas Hearne with the originals, and to give an account of the manuscripts. Mr. Gomme´s plan was to re-arrange the text, inserting Leland´s marginal additions - which Hearne printed just as he found them, imitating the original page - in the relative positions for which they were meant; considerable portions of genealogical matter and epitaphs were to be struck out; he also intended to identify difficult place-names, and to trace out the "Itinerary" on a map. The work was proceeding slowly, owing to numerous interruptions, one small Part only being in type, when Mr. Gomme´s official engagements obliged him to renounce it altogether. My portion being nearly finished, after an interval the publisher requested me to carry out the preparation of the whole edition, to which I reluctantly consented, knowing by this time enough about the work to estimate its difficulties.
