Excerpt from Popular Romances of the Middle Ages These two conditions have, it is hoped, been strictly observed in the versions here given of these romances. While special care has been taken to guard against the introduction even of phrases not in harmony with the original narratives, not less pains have been bestowed on the task of preserving all that is essential in the narrative; and thus it may perhaps be safely said that the readers of this volume will obtain from it some adequate know ledge of the tales without having their attention and their patience overtaxed by a multiplicity of super uous and therefore irksome details. Of the present version of the Arthur story, the most celebrated perhaps of all, it may be enough to say that it relates many important episodes which have been omitted in the versions recently published, while no attempt has been made to impart to the romance a more historical complexion than that which it received at the hands of Caxton's friend.

Excerpt from Epics and Romances of the Middle Ages Egend is' not history; but in legend we find embodied historical truths, manners and customs of past ages, beliefs and superstitions otherwise long forgotten. Of which history itself takes no account. Legend has preserved for us, maybe in romantic dress, maybe' under altered names and circumstances, stirringgpictures of heroes and heroines, who once have lived and suffered, fought and conquered, or have faced death with' trustful courage; pictures, too, of men of equal prowess, as strong in evil as in might, who, victorious for a time, have yet ever met a stronger power than theirs, stronger in virtue, stronger in might.
