Excerpt from Early English Poetry, Ballads, and Popular Literature of the Middle Ages, Vol. 12: Edited From Original Manuscripts and Scarce Publications
In the present edition, care has been taken, by the modification of some few words and sentences, which are as little essential to the conduct of the story, as consonant to our present notions of pro priety, to lay before the members of the Percy Society a volume which may be perused, it is hoped, with pleasure, certainly without offence. How few and trifling have been the liberties necessary to produce this desirable result, I leave the curious enquirer to ascertain by comparing this reprint with Oaxton's own edition: while to those who complain that such alterations or omissions destroy the value of the book, I reply, by denying that such is the case, and by answering that even if it were so, I am prepared to adopt the declara tion of Dr. Johnson that there are laws of higher authority than those of criticism.
Would that I could defend my introduction andnotes as confidently, as I can the reprint which they accompany. But I am too well aware of the errors of omission and commission which may be found in them, not to entertain some anxiety as to the feeling with which my slight illustrations of Caxton's language, and his allusions to the manners and custom of the olden times, may be received by those who are better skilled than my self in those branches of archaeological study.

Excerpt from Early English Poetry, Ballads, and Popular Literature of the Middle Ages, Vol. 12: Edited From Original Manuscripts and Scarce Publications
The following pages contain The Hystorye of Reynard the Foxe, as it was printed by Caxton in 1481, a work of considerable interest and literary merit; and one, moreover, of such excessive rarity, that the last copy exposed to public auction produced, at Mr. Inglis's sale, no less a sum than €184. 16s. This copy is now deposited in the matchless library of the Right Hon. Thomas Grenville, a gentleman who, from the princely munificence with which he purchases books, and the liberality with which he permits students to make use of them, realizes Chaucer's admirable description of the true scholar -
"Full gladly wold he lerne, and gladly teche."
