I have also to thank, for special and generous assistance, Mr. J.P.
Anderson, late of the British Museum, the author of the "Bibliography of
Byron's Works" attached to the Life of Lord Byron by the Hon. Roden Noel
(1890); Miss Grace Reed, of Philadelphia, for bibliographical entries of
early American editions; and Professor Vladimir Hrabar, of the
University of Dorpat, for the collection and transcription of numerous
Russian translations of Byron's Works.
To Messrs. Clowes, the printers of these volumes, and to their reader,
Mr. F.T. Peachey, I am greatly indebted for the transcription of
Slavonic titles included in the Summary of the Bibliography, and for
interesting and useful information during the progress of the work.
In conclusion, I must once more express my acknowment of the industry
and literary ability of my friend Mr. F.E. Taylor, of Chertsey, who has
read the proofs of this and the six preceding volumes.
The Index is the work of Mr. C. Eastlake Smith.
