Sinossi
Excerpt from Books in Manuscript: A Short Introduction to Their Study and Use
The present elementary work is intended to be a plain account of the study and use of manuscripts, such as may interest both the amateur who possesses manuscript treasures, but lacks the time or oppor tunity to go deeply into the subject, and the student who may wish to have a first view of the character and methods of the study, before entering on the endless details of palaeography and textual criticism. There is little room for original matter, or for refer ences to substantiate the statements made; but the writer has attempted to be clear and readable, 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, its object will be attained.
