Excerpt from Héroïdes, Ou Lettres En Vers, Vol. 8
The immense labor involved in a work like the present can hardly be appreciated by one who has not performed a similar task. When all is done as well as it may be, glaring imperfections remain, which could only be eradicated by doing the same work, from beginning to end - when yet new imperfections would probably be found. A full account of the problems in the present Catalogue is given in Part III of the Introduction and an explanation of the terms employed and the rules for entry appear in Part IV. It only remains to express my cordial, heartfelt thanks to those who have helped me.
This Catalogue is a product of the Native Sons' Fellowships in History at the University of California. As holder of one of these fellowships, for two years, I was enabled to prepare these volumes and other works, and in a thousand ways to enjoy and profit by a long residence in Spain. The many advantages I have derived are a measure of my gratitude to the Native Sons of the Golden West, who made their attainment possible. In order that the enlightened wo'rk of this Californian order may be permanently recorded, a section of the Introduction has been devoted to an account of the fellowships they founded.
