LIBRARIAN TO THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE.

MY DEAR FRIEND,

Most grateful it is to me, at all times, to bear in remembrancethose pleasant discussions in which we were wont so frequently toindulge, relating to the LIBRARIES upon the Continent:--but morethan ordinarily gratifying to me was that moment, when youtold me, that, on crossing the Rhine, you took the third volume ofmy Tour under your arm, and on reaching the Monasteries of Mölk andGöttwic, gave an off-hand translation to the venerable BenedictineInmates of what I had recorded concerning their MSS. and PrintedBooks, and their hospitable reception of the Author. I studiouslyconcealed from You, at the time, the whole of the gratificationwhich that intelligence imparted; resolving however that, shouldthis work be deemed worthy of a second edition, to dedicate thatrepublication to YOURSELF. Accordingly, it now comes forth in itspresent form, much enhanced, in the estimation of its Author, bythe respectability of the name prefixed to this Dedication; andwishing you many years enjoyment of the honourable public situationwith which you have been recently, and so deservedly, invested,allow me to subscribe myself,

Your affectionate
and obliged Friend,

T.F. DIBDIN.
