Extract

I congratulate you, in common with all the lovers of our antique lore, on the publication of the “Towneley Mysteries” by the Surtees Society. I trust this volume is but the forerunner of a complete edition of the Chester and Coventry Plays, in a similarly elegant form; though with greater accuracy, and a more correct glossary. Mr. Markland, Mr. Collier, and Mr. Sharp, have shown how admirably competent they are to such a task, by the specimens with which already they have respectively enriched the literary world; and I hope they may be prevailed upon to complete the work.
