Excerpt from The Owl and the Nightingale: Edited With Introduction, Texts, Notes, Translation and Glossary

And, lastly, I have to thank the Syndics of the University Press for undertaking the publication of the poem and, in particular, Mr A. R. Waller, for his generous and judicious advice on various points connected with the work, and the staff of the Press for their skill and consideration shown in the actual task of printing.
