    Library and all the Collegiate Libraries in Cambridge, the Bodleian Library, and that of the British Museum. Notwithstanding this care on our own part, and the information we have gained from friends, we cannot be sure that we have included all that appeared in controversies separated from our own time by nearly two centuries. It is, therefore, with considerable diffidence that we present our bibliography to the public, and we shall be grateful for further information. Our special thanks are due to the Master and Fellows of Trinity College for their kindness in allowing us to reproduce the portrait of Bentley, now in the dining-room of the Master’s Lodge, painted by Sir James Thornhill in 1710 ; to the Master and Fellows of Sidney Sussex College for the loan of Bentley’s Letter (p. 20), with leave to reproduce it ; to Dr Sandys, Public Orator, for helpful criticism ; to the Librarians of the different Colleges and to Dr Fortescue, Keeper of the Printed Books in the British Museum, who all gave us every facility for studying the collections of Bentley tracts under their care ; to C. E. Sayle, M.A. of S. John’s College, for help in drawing up the list of Portraits ; and to E. J. Worman, M.A. of Christ’s College, for careful revision of the proofs of the Bibliography. An asterisk (#) has been added to each item in my own collection: in other cases the place where a book may be found has been indicated only when the book in question is of some rarity.
