Dee, John, 1527-1608

"The Private Diary of Dr. John Dee And the Catalog of His Library of Manuscripts"

The Council have followed the precedent
of former years, in directing that there should be appended to the
last-mentioned volume a list of the Members of the Society for the past
year; and, if the General Meeting think proper, this Report and that of
the Auditors may also be added.
The Council have much satisfaction in being able to state that the
"Apology for the Lollards," a work attributed to Wickliffe, which has
been so long delayed by reason of the many engagements of the Editor,
the Rev. Jas. Henthorn Todd, D.D. is now on the eve of completion; and
will certainly be ready for delivery in the ensuing year.
Considerable progress has also been made with the "Promptorium," a Latin
and English Dictionary of words in use during the fifteenth century,
editing by Albert Way, Esq. F.S.A. a work which the Council believe will
be one of great merit and utility; and a portion of it will be one of
the publications of the ensuing year.
Besides the Apology for the Lollards and the Promptuary, the following
works have been ordered to be put to press at the convenience of their
Editors and the Society, and will be published as soon as they are
ready.
A Collection of Original Letters and Papers of Literary Men of
England during the Reigns of Elizabeth and James I., including some
Unpublished Papers of Camden. To be edited by SIR HENRY ELLIS, K.H.,
F.R.S., F.S.A.
Latin Romance Narratives and Legends of the thirteenth, fourteenth,
and fifteenth Centuries, relating to King Arthur and other Heroes of
the Welsh and Breton cycle of Fiction.
