The extracts from the Wake MSS are published with the permission of the Trustees of the MSS, the Dean of Christ Church, and the Regius Professors of Divinity and Hebrew, Oxford, for which permission the writer is deeply grateful. He has also to thank the Rev. Claude Jenkins, Librarian at Lambeth, for much courteous assistance.
