Excerpt from A History of the Venerable English College, Rome: An Account of Its Origins and Work, From the Earliest Times to the Present Day
Besides, once for all acknowledging my indebtedness to the late Brother Foley, s.j., I desire to express my thanks for the help given me by Mgr. Mann, the Rector of the Bede College in Rome, who not only read through the ms. And suggested corrections and additions, but also has furnished me with the story of the Schola Anglorum in Rome, which forms the first chapter of this volume. Mr. Short of the English College has helped me very much in the illustrations of this volume, and I desire to express to him my thanks, as well as to Dr. Ashby and Mrs. Strong of the British School in Rome, from whom I had received much help and encouragement. Lastly, I am greatly indebted to the Lord Bishop of Clifton, who has read the proof sheets and suggested several additions and corrections.
