I‘ve fallen in love with the editor for his footnotes. I declare my undying love at Trappedinthescriptorium.com. Since the book was published in 1868, it‘s all pretty pointless, but how can you not love a man who writes: “If anyone thinks is a bore to read these prefaces , I can assure him it was a much greater bore to have to hunt up the material for them, and set aside other pressing business for it.” And yes, what you see is the complete title.
