Author Description

Excerpt from On the Crown: With Critical and Explanatory Notes, an Historical Sketch and Essays I take great pleasure in expressing (not for the first time) my deep indebtedness to Dr Henry Jackson of Trinity College, Cambridge. He has done me the inestimable service of reading and revising my proofs and giving me the benefit of his wide experience. There are few pages in this book which have not had the benefit of his criticism. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
