Excerpt from Miscellaneous EssaysThe present volumes contain a number of papers which, have already appeared in periodicals, and some of them also in a separate form. One on St. Anselm was recast for Macmillan's Sunday Library from two articles contributed to the British Critic in 1843. The Essay on Dante appeared in the Christian Remembrancer of January 1850, and was reprinted in a volume of Essays and Reviews (1854), and afterwards separately. The papers on Brittany and the Early Ottomans also appeared first in the Christian Remembrancer, 1846 and 1855; that on Montaigne in the Oxford Essays of 1857; those on Cassiodorus and the Letters of Gregory the Great in the Church Quarterly, 1880 and 1881.
