PEEFACE ix
in all cases been given under any name which is contained
in it. It must be understood that Foster's Alumni Ox-
onienses should always be consulted in regard to any person
about whom further information is desired. This applies
especially to the period 1509-1800, up to which latter date
a man's subsequent career is indicated only when it possesses
any special interest, or when it has been possible to supple-
ment the information given in ordinary books of reference.
For fuller details as to Benefactions, as well as many
other matters contained in the Register, reference should
be made to the two volumes of Quatercentenary Monographs.
The list of works has been drawn up from the cata-
logue of the books by Brasenose authors contained in the
College Library (works which are in the Library being
marked by a f), but it has been added to from other sources,
especially from the British Museum Catalogue which has
been used for all known Brasenose authors.^ This laborious
task has been executed by Mr. W. T. Coxhill. It is not
supposed that the list of works is exhaustive, and in this
connexion, as in the Register generally, there may be many
errors in identification ; but it is hoped that the work
which has been done may at least prove to be a serviceable
foundation for a more complete bibliography, which may
be undertaken by some successor who can devote more
time to its production. It should be added that in the
case of most men who have had only a slight connexion
with the College, as for instance Professor Sayce and the
late Provost of Oriel, a list of their works has not been
given. It appeared sufficient to state generally that they
were authors.
The Editor regrets that there were in the first volume of
the Register so many omissions and mistakes
—
quas aut incuria fudit
Aut humana parum cavit natura.
^ Many additions to the list of authors or works given in the present
volume are derived from a manuscript list compiled by the Rev. W. E.
Buckley, which was unfortunately overlooked when the first volume of
the Register was being prepared.
