I have endeavoured to give footnotes to the dramatis personae of the work, and also to provide the major historical data necessary to understand the political and social setting of the Letter. An introduction outlining this setting and giving the pertinent bibliographical data has been included. This work was edited with reference to the Manuscript of the Letter, in the Mary Hyde collection, and I have included a Table of Variants in which is listed the changes from the manuscript to the text.xxi, 109 leaves ; 30 cm.engUniversity of Calgary graduate students retain copyright ownership and moral rights for their thesis.
