The principal omission from the above list is *The Paston Letters*,
which I should probably have included had the enterprise
of publishers been sufficient to put an edition on the market
at a cheap price. Other omissions include the works of Caxton and Wyclif,
and such books as Camden's *Britannia*, Ascham's *Schoolmaster*,
and Fuller's *Worthies*, whose lack of first-rate value as literature
is not adequately compensated by their historical interest.
As to the Bible, in the first place it is a translation,
and in the second I assume that you already possess a copy.
