A generous grant from the University of Virginia's Library
Research Committee supported much of the work on this catalogue.
I am most grateful to the Committee and to the University
Librarian, Mr. Ray W. Frantz, Jr.
Mr. Julius Barclay and his staff in the Rare Book Department
were unfailingly helpful and made my task all the more enjoyable.
I would also like to thank Professors Ernest Mead and Angelika
Powell of the University of Virginia; Donald W. Krummel and David
Hunter of the University of Illinois; Margaret Lospinuso of the
University of North Carolina; and J. Samuel Hammond, Duke
University.
