Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literary Studies, Vol. 1 of 2: With a Prefatory Memoir, Edited by Richard Holt Hutton This edition was planned and begun as a simple reprint, uniform and indexed, of the existing editions of Bagehot's works; there was then no thought of "editing" the text, or recognition of its extreme necessity. The accidental notice, after the work was well under way, that a series of extracts from a familiar book were full of errors, led first to an attempt to verify and correct all quotations; then, as attention was more sharply directed to the text, to the discovery that Bagchot's own matter was in almost as corrupt a state as his extracts from other writers, and in consequence to still farther examination of the original sources of his facts, - which resulted in some surprising developments; lastly, to a collation of his original review articles with the reprints revised by himself, - a not unfruitful task.
