Mr H. M. Chadwick, Bosworth and Elrington Professor of anglo-saxon, who has rescued me from countless pits which I had digged for myself. Anyone who has had the good fortune to work with him will appreciate my debt; no one else can estimate it. If this volume does anything to lighten the burdens which he has piled upon himself, I shall not feel that I have toiled in vain.
