  Most footnotes were denoted with an asterisk, although several notes to a single letter, beginning on p. 250, are assigned sequential numbers. All notes have been resequenced, from A to P, and moved to directly follow the paragraphs where they are referenced. Illustrations have been moved slightly in the text break. Note that they had no captions, expecting the reader to identify the subjects from the context. Minor errors, attributable to the printer, have been corrected. Please see the transcriber’s note at the end of this text for details regarding the handling of any textual issues encountered during its preparation. Any corrections are indicated using an underline highlight. Placing the cursor over the correction will produce the original text in a small popup. Any corrections are indicated as hyperlinks, which will navigate the reader to the corresponding entry in the corrections table in the note at the end of the text.

The addition of your ‘Twenty years personal and bibliographical Reminiscences of Panizzi and the British Museum’ cannot but add interest to the new edition, hence I heartily coincide with and approve the suggestion, in full expectation that your long experience and special opportunities will have enabled you to throw still more light on the labours of a life and the merits of an institution which cannot be too well-known everywhere. Trusting that our combined work will be as cordially received in your country as Americans always were by Panizzi at the British Museum, I remain, my dear Sir, yours very truly, Louis Fagan To Henry Stevens, Esquire of Vermont, F S A ETC 4, Trafalgar Square, Charing Cross, London. |
