Synopsis
Excerpt from Books in Manuscript: A Short Introduction to Their Study and Use
This work is intended to be a plain account of the study and use of manuscripts, such as will interest both the amateur who may possess manuscript treasures, but may lack the time or opportunity to go deeply into the subject, and the student who may wish to have a clear view of the character and methods of the study, before entering on the details of palæography and textual criticism. There is, therefore, little room for original matter, or for references to substantiate the statements made; but the writer has attempted to be precise as well as plain, and to avoid exaggeration and prolixity. If the book leads collectors of manuscripts, or students either of the classics or of historical records, to take a keener and more intelligent interest in their work, his object will be attained.
