HER MAJESTY'S SOLICITOR GENERAL

&c. &c. &c.

SIR JOHN,

:

In the outset you were kind enough spontaneously to express your interest in my work on the Worthies that form the (now) goodly Series of my privately-printed books and successively I owe you many suggestive and pleasantlyworded letters, that came as so much sunlight into my study. By a gratifying coincidence too, while I was busied in preparations for it, you honoured me with your counsel to include HENRY VAUGHAN'S 'secular' as well as 'sacred' Poetry in the Fuller Worthies' Library. I was overjoyed to find my own decision confirmed by one whose judgment and taste few will challenge.

I have now the pleasure to offer you Vols. Ist and IIIrd.-first of Prose and Verse respectively,and in the Autumn I hope to add Vols. IId. and IVth.-Verse and Prose-so making a complete collective edition of the Works of the Silurist: and your approbation of what I have tried to do
