Morrill, Georgiana Lea: Speculum Gy de Warewyke: an English poem : here for the first time printed and first edited from the manuscripts (London: Kegan Paul, Trench, Trübner, 1898)

6 The Original Series of the “ Early English Text Society."
In case more Texts are ready at any time than can be paid for by the current year’s in-
come, they will be dated the next year, and issued in advance to such Members as will pay advance
subscriptions. The 1886-7 delay in getting out Texts must not occur again, if it can possibly
be avoided. The Director has in hand for future volunteer Editors, copies of 2 or 3 MSS.
Members of the Society will learn with pleasure that its example has been followed, not
only by the Old French Text Society which has done such admirable work under its founders
Profs. Paul Meyer and Gaston Paris, but also by the Early Russian Text Society, which was
set on foot in 1877, and has since issued many excellent editions of old MS. Chronicles &c.
Members will also note with pleasure the annexation of large tracts of our Early English
territory by the important German contingent under General Zupitza, Colonel Kblbing, volun-
teers Hausknecht, Einenkel, Haenisch, Kaluza, Hupe, Adam, Holthausen, Schick, Herzfeld,
Brandeis, &c. Scandinavia has also sent us Prof. Erdmann ; Holland, Prof. H. Logeman,
who is now working in Belgium ; France, Prof. Paul Meyer-—with Gaston Paris as adviser;
—Italy, Prof. Lattanzi; Hungary, Dr. von Fleischhacker ; while America is represented by
the late Prof. Child, by Dr. Mary Noyes Colvin, Profs. Mead, Perrin, McClintock, Triggs, &c.
The sympathy, the ready help, which the Society’s work has cald forth from the Continent
and the United States, have been among the pleasantest experiences of the Society’s life, a
real aid and cheer amid all troubles and discouragements. All our Members are grateful for
it, and recognise that the bond their work has woven between them and the lovers of language
and antiquity across the seas is one of the most welcome results of the Society’s efforts.
