THE LIFE OF ARCHBISHOP CRANMER. BY CHARLES WEBB LE BAS, M.A. PROFESSOR IN THE EAST INDIA COLLEGE, HERTS, AND LATE FELLOW OF TRINITY COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE. PREFACE. SINCE the publication of the first volume of this work, a complete collection of the "Remains of Archbishop Cranmer," has issued from the Clarendon Press at Oxford, in four octavo volumes, under the editorial superintendence of the Reverend Henry Jenkyns, Fellow of Oriel College. The work is enriched by a most interesting Preface, and by many valuable notes, which abundantly attest the qualifications of the Editor for the office he has undertaken. I gladly take this opportunity of acknowledging my obligations to his labours. They have enabled me to render my own attempt somewhat less unworthy of the public attention, than it otherwise might have been. The additions and corrections, which Mr. Jenkyns's edition has suggested, to the former volume of my work, will be found in No. I. of the Appendix to the present volume. EAST INDIA COLLEGE, June 1, 1833. ERRATA IN VOL. I. For "immemoriably," p. 104, 1. 1, read "immemorially." For "Newbray," p. 156, 1. 24, read "Newbury."
