    He worked very slowly, and it was not until 1881 that he produced his first instalment, containing felgio Medici, A Letter toa Friend, and Christian Morals. He went on steadily, but had not quite finished Urn- Burial and The Garden of Cyrus at the time of his death ; these were, however, completed by Mr. EH. H. Marshall, and published in 1896. Although Greenhill’s annotations cover only a portion of Browne’s works, their sagacity and fulness make them, so far as they go, not merely valuable but indispensable. It is much to be regretted that Greenhill did not survive to perform the same office for the Vulgar Errors and for Browne’s Correspondence. Several learned friends have obliged me with technical information in the course of this little mono- graph. Acknowledgment is made in due course to Sir Archibald Geikie, to Dr. Norman Moore, and to Dr. John Peile, Master of Christ’s College, Cambridge. The zoological pages have undergone the revision of Dr. P. Chalmers Mitchell. Mr. James Fitzmaurice- Kelly has read the proofs throughout, to their sub- stantial advantage. For all this kindness I tender, once more, my warmest thanks. E. G. June 1905.
