Excerpt from Studies in Chaucer, Vol. 1 of 3: His Life and WritingsBout twenty-five years ago, a small volume con taining nearly four thousand lines of Chaucer's poetry, with notes and a glossary, was issued from the Clarendon Press of Oxford University. It met at the outset with a respectable but by no means rapid sale. But on the title-page, which bears the date of 1886 - the last year of this particular edition which I have chanced to see - the number printed up to that time stands te corded as sixty-six thousand. Since then the work has been revised and reissued. The whole number published has now undoubtedly mounted to many thousands more, and the circulation of the book in its new form is not unlikely to have already overtaken and even gone beyond the figures just mentioned.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
