Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of England Under Henry the Fourth: 1405 -1406 When I published Vol. I. of this History, more than nine years ago, I hoped to limit it to two volumes, but so much material has since accumulated on my hands, that I have been obliged to let it run over into three. The third volume will, I hope, be ready next year, and, in addition to the concluding chapters of the history, will contain appendices, index, and a long black-list of Corrigenda. I have many acknowledgments to make for help received in working at the present volume - notably to Mr. Hubert Hall of the Public Record Office, and Mr. Edward J. L. Scott, Keeper of the Manuscripts in the British Museum. To the latter gentleman I am indebted for generously placing at my disposal a transcript of Hoccleve's Omnegadrum (Add. MS. 24,062 A), which I hope that he may yet decide to publish for the benefit of historical students generally. But my work could never have been carried even to its present stage but for the facilities afforded me by the Feoffees of the Chetham Library in Manchester, and I take this opportunity of again acknowledging my great indebtedness to them, especially to their Honorary Librarian, Sir Henry H. Howorth, M.P., who has done so much to maintain for this grand collection of books the premier place even in a City of Great Libraries.
