Excerpt from A Mediaeval Princess: Being a True Record of the Changing Fortunes Which Brought Divers Titles to Jacqueline, Countess of Holland, Together With an Account of Her Conflict With Philip, Duke of Burgundy (1401-1436)

The authorities whereon the narrative rests are described elsewhere, but here I would make grateful acknowledgment for the cor dial assistance in their use given to me at the libraries of Columbia and Cornell Uni versities, and at the New York Public Library. With every year our historical material grows richer and becomes more available. Governments and learned societies abroad are exerting themselves to publish records and documents while librarians are co-oper ating with archivists to the great advantage of students.

My warmest thanks are especially due to Dr. Billings and to the various members of his staff at the Astor for unfailing courtesy. I also desire to express my gratitude to Dr. Bijvanck of the Royal Library at The Hague for his kind suggestions, and to Prof. Blok and Dr. Japikse for their aid at various times from across the sea.
