The Manuscripts in the Library at Lambeth Palace (Classic Reprint)
Description:... Excerpt from The Manuscripts in the Library at Lambeth Palace With this catalogue before us we are in a better position to prosecute our researches. Yet I doubt if anything but an accident could conduct us to a successful issue. And such an accident has befallen me. In January, 1899, I was permitted by the kindness Of His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, seconded by the prompt assistance of Mr Kershaw, the Librarian of Lambeth Palace, to make a systematic examina tion of the mss. In the Archiepiscopal Library. It was my hope that among them there would prove to be a large con tingent from Canterbury: but the Canterbury books, though interesting, are not numerous. To some extent, however, I was compensated for this disappointment by the discovery that a very large number of the Lambeth mss. Are from Lanthony Priory.
