Extract

May I as one who has had occasion both as a publisher and an editor to read a very considerable number of books and articles embodying the results of research into English literary history plead for more attention to form in the presentation of such work?

The author of this article died in the month of its publication, January 1940. As Editor of both The Review of English Studies (1925–40) and The Library (1934–37), Ronald Brunlees McKerrow was in an admirable position to offer this friendly counsel to scholarly authors. His words of advice, here reprinted from RES, xvi (1940), 116–121, by authorization of the Editorial Committee for PMLA and by kind permission of the Oxford University Press and the Editor of RES, are as helpful today as they were a decade ago.—ED.
