As bibliographies of texts and commentaries appear in Dareste's and Dodd's collections, it has not been deemed necessary to print such lists here. For the various treaties referred to in the prefatory historical notes the reader is referred to Tétot, Ribier and similar treaty catalogues. Finally, the editor wishes to express his great indebtedness and grateful appreciation to his friend and former colleague, Prof. Francis J. Hemelt, of the Catholic University of America, for the valuable cumulative and analytical index; to Miss Alice M. Ball and Miss Ruth E. Stanton, for their invaluable assistance in matters of accuracy and nicety of translation as well as for their generous aid in expediting the work through the press; and to the Government Printing Office, for its prompt and whole-hearted cooperation from beginning to end. WASHINGTON, 28 March 1919. HERBERT F. WRIGHT. |
