Excerpt from The Lay of Havelok the Dane: Re-Edited From Ms. Laud Misc; 108 in the Bodleian Library, Oxford The Introduction has therefore been remodelled. The Text and foot-notes are from stereotyped plates, and such slight changes as have been made have the single aim of restoring defensible readings in the manuscript. The Notes are for the most part new; and the Glossary, which was admirably full and accurate in its references, has been revised throughout. This work, necessarily hasty, would not have been possible without generous help. The Misses Skeat have kindly placed at my disposal the materials in their posses sion. Professor Carleton Brown collated the Cambridge Fragments, which now follow the text, with very valuable results. Dr. Craigie contributes the important emendation of l. 64. Professor Napier has allowed me to consult his bibliographical collections, and to quote his explanation of the forms mentioned in the note to l. 2143. Finally, in all points the revision has greatly benefited by Dr. Henry Bradley's criticism and advice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
