The Eariy English Text Society was started by Dr. Furnivall in 1864 for tl purpose of bringing the mass of Old English Literature within the reach of th ordinary student, and of wiping away the reproach under which England had Ion rested, of having felt little interest in the monuments of her early language and life, l of Jhe Society, so' many Texts of importance were at once taken i hand by its Editors, that it became necessary in 1867 to open, besides the Or ionic Senes with which the Society began, an Extra Series which should be mainly devote to fresh editions of all that is most valuable in printed MSS. and Caxton’s and othe black-letter books, though first editions of MSS. will not he excluded when the cor venience of issuing completed Texts demands their inclusion tlie Extra Series During the twenty-eight years of the Society’s existen v ,t has produced Ci whatever shortcomings, an amount of good solid work for which all students of ou Language, and some of our Literature^must be grateful, and which has renders possible the beginnings (at least) of proper Histories and Dictionaries of that Lamma^ our forefathers’ ^ ^ lllustrated tlle the life, the manners ud customs T But the Society’s experience has shown the very small number of those inheritor of the speech of Cynewulf, Chaucer, and Shakspere who care two guineas a vea- the records of that speech. ‘Let the dead past bury its dead’ is stab the erv of <’<•.- Britain and her Colonies, and of America, in the matter of language. The Society never had money enough to produce the Texts that could easily ha .V been goi. rend' toi it; and many Editors are now anxious to send to press the work thev have pared. I he necessity has therefore arisen for trying whether more Texts eun \ < o out by the plan of issuing them in advance of the current year, so that tliose M> who like to pay for them by advance Subscriptions, can do so, while those who to wait for the year for which the volumes are markt, can do so too. To such waiters the plan will be no injury, but a gain, as every years Texts will then be ready ; tl- ^e'™.^ears ^a^ on which the Subscription for them is paid The success of this plan will depend on the support it receives from Mend it is obvious that the Society’s printers must be paid half or two-thirds uf their > i{ for a Text within a few months of its production. Appeal is therefore mmb tc ‘ d Members who can spare advance Subscript imu. to pay them as soon as they v .t ,lctlC that the Texts for any future year are ready. In 1892, the Texts for 1893 we- ^sued ; in 1893, those for 1894 : and some for 1895 and 1896 will also be ready in 1893 r j Jf, , jjPt.lon ,*? tlie Society, which constitutes membership, is £i 1* a [and £1 Is additional for the Extra Series], due in advance on the 1st of Jmsuar' and should be paid either to the Society's Account at the Head Office of tl Union Bank of London, Princes Street.
