Book excerpt: Excerpt from Propositio Johannis Russell The present volume forms the first issue of a series of facsimile reproductions of unique and rare books in the possession of the John Rylands Library. The series is to be known as "The John Rylands Facsimiles," and it may not be out of place in this prefatory note to recall the considerations which led up to the present undertaking. It is a matter of common knowledge that in the possession of this Library there are a number of works, particularly of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, which are of considerable importance on account of their extreme rarity. Hitherto, many of these volumes have been accessible only to students in Manchester, because the only known copies are to be found here. The result has been that, in a number of instances, important pieces of bibliographical and literary investigation have had to be laid aside, and publication delayed, by reason of the inability of workers in America, France, Germany, and other countries, as well as in remote parts of our own country, to undertake a journey to Manchester for the purpose of examining the only known copy of a work which was likely to contribute to a fuller elucidation of the subject of their investigations.
