PREFATORY NOTE. THE following pages comprise a list of the principal volumes of early English literature preserved in the Malone Collection, selected from the printed Catalogue for the use of those students who do not care for the more modern portion of the library, and who find that a folio volume. is inconvenient for constant reference. The Malone Collection includes some of the most important early English rarities of the Bodleian Library, and, with the numerous important additions in the same direction obtained under the long and excellent management of Dr. Bandinel, render that library one of the most interesting in the world to English students.
