X PREFACE Some of these were due to the haste with which the volume was at the last moment brought out—haste which was prompted by the natural desire that the book might be published by the day on which the College Quatercentenary was celebrated. Mistakes, however, would anyhow have been made, even if fuller time had been allowed for the preparation of the book. In a Register of this kind it is inevitable that there should be many slips which can only be corrected by the help of others after publication. For the bulk of the additions and corrections in the record of the nineteenth century the Editor is indebted to Mr. M. H. Green, Fellow of Trinity College, Oxford, and to Mr. G. B. Routledge, to whom are due his most grateful acknowledgements for their kindness, and for the interest which they have taken in the Brasenose Register. They have sent him a large number of facts and suggestions, those contributed by Mr. Green being chiefly, though not entirely, dates of death, which will be useful as a clue to possible obituary notices, those sent by Mr. Eoutledge comprising many other details. Some of this informa- tion has been omitted, as lying outside the scope of the book, but all of it will be preserved, and may be utilized in other ways at some later date. The Editor will always be glad to receive any further corrections and additions, and hopes that means may be found to publish them for the benefit of members of the College, though he cannot expect that a second edition of the Register in its present form will ever be required. The Index ^ of names has been prepared by Mr. Coxhill, and has been carefully revised by Mr. T. H. Penson. The list of abbreviations is the joint work of both. All the ' The Index must be understood to refer to both volumes; and any name as to which information is desired should be looked for in the second volume as well as in the first underthe year given in the Index, on the chance that there may be some addition or correction to be noted. It has not been thought necessary to index the various lists contained in the second volume.
