Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Missal of St. Augustine's Abbey Canterbury: With Excerpts From the Antiphonary and Lectionary of the Same Monastery, Edited With an Introductory Monograph, From a Manuscript in the Library, of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge When, therefore, at the instance of my friend, the Reverend S. S. Lewis, at that time and until his death the Librarian of Corpus Christi College, I spent part of the Long Vacation of 1886 at Cambridge, it was with unqualified pleasure that I availed myself of permission to tran scribe and work on a book of which I already knew a little, but was anxious to know much more. My study of the document began in the autumn of the following year, but, with the exception of a few weeks, was intermitted from the Christmas of 1889 to the summer of 1892, when some portions of the following Introduction first fell into their present form. The order, however, in which the Missal yielded up its several items of evidence was not that now given to the successive divisions of the Introduction.
