Fortunately it is the fact that no single book of recognised
first-rate general importance is conspicuously dear.
Nevertheless, I have encountered difficulties in the second rank;
I have dealt with them in a spirit of compromise. I think I may say that,
though I should have included a few more authors had their books been
obtainable at a reasonable price, I have omitted none that I consider
indispensable to a thoroughly representative collection.
No living author is included.

Where I do not specify the edition of a book the original copyright edition
is meant.
