Professor of English Literature and Rhetoric in Brown University 116 7363 تو 1911 PREFACE The text of this edition is founded upon a careful comparison of the first two English editions (of which one of the editors was fortunate enough to possess copies) with the first American edition, a copy of which, formerly belonging to Mr. Andrew D. White, was very kindly lent by the Cornell University Library. Hannay's notes, which were appended to the original editions, are excluded as unsuited to the purpose for which this volume is intended; there is no proof that Thackeray had any hand in their preparation, and their omission gives room for explanatory matter very much more to the purpose; in the one or two cases where Hannay's comments seemed helpful, they have been retained, and, of course, duly acknowledged. The notes in this volume have been prepared by Dr. Watt, who wishes to acknowledge his obligations to previous editors; for the introduction I am. responsible; the text we did together.
