Henslowes Diary Part 1 PDF Download

Excerpt from Henslowe's Diary, Vol. 1: Text I wish in the forefront of my work to discharge the pleasant duty of recording my thanks to those who have with their kind assistance helped me in the fulfilment of my task. In the first place my hearty thanks are due to the Governors of Dulwich College for kindly allowing the manuscript of Henslowe's Diary to be deposited at the British Museum for my use, and for the courtesy and patience with which they have borne with me in a series of unavoidable delays. I should in particular mention Sir Robert Douglas, who most kindly undertook the duty of intermediary. Next I must record my deep indebtedness to the officials of the Manuscript Department at the British Museum. To Dr. Warner, who not only helped me in numerous cases of difficulty, but kindly consented to read the proofs of the section of my Introduction dealing with the knotty question of the forgeries, I have had an opportunity of expressing my gratitude elsewhere; but I have here to acknowledge a scarcely smaller debt to Mr. F. B. Bickley and Mr. J. A. Herbert for assistance on innumerable occasions. Lastly my best thanks are due to my friend Mr. 'a. H. Bullen, who originally suggested to me the idea of the present edition, volunteering himself to under take the publication, and further supplied many helpful suggestions during the course of the work.
