For the extremely elegant and appropriate frontispiece I am indebted to the pencil of my friend charles kirkpatrick sharpe, Esq., whose graphic abilities are only equalled by his uniform courtesy and kindness. A faithful fac-simile of the original manuscript is also prefixed.
The romance of Bevis’ father, Sir Guy of Warwick, has been transcribed from the same ms. And is about to be printed for that very flourishing and remarkably select association - the AR botsford club.
To conclude, in the words Of the Editor of the prose romance of 1 689xviii preliminary remarks.
