Excerpt from The Western Manuscripts in the Library of Trinity College, Cambridge, Vol. 4: A Descriptive Catalogue; Containing Plates, Addenda, Corrigenda and Index

In the present volume are contained a selection of facsimiles of characteristic scripts and interesting specimens of illuminations from blocks made by Mr Edwin Wilson of Mill Lane, Cambridge. Among those which illustrate writings are included some which show the hand which I believe that Lanfranc introduced at Christ Church, Canterbury. A list of the facsimiles follows this preface.

I have, furthermore, given a brief list of the Porson manuscripts in Class C, (not including the numerous printed books containing manuscript notes by him,) and also such corrections of and additions to the first three volumes of this Catalogue as I could collect. No one will sup I consider the list complete.

A general reference only M. Paul Meyer's invaluable tract on the old French manuscripts in the Library.

Last in order follows the Index, which is of my own making. Time will show whether it is good or bad. It was printed off before the rest of the volume was written, and consequently does not include any references to the Addenda or Corrigenda.
