A Bibliography Of The Works Written And Edited By Dr John Worthington

Excerpt from A Bibliography of the Works Written and Edited by Dr. John Worthington: Master of Jesus College, Cambridge, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, Etc;, Etc Bibliography was originally intended to be added to the Second Part of the Second Volume of the Diary and Correspondence of Dr. Worthington, edited by me for the Chetham Society in 1886, but, as there stated, I found so much more matter than I had expected, and so many inaccuracies to correct in the existing notices of Worthington's writings, that considerable delay would have arisen had the issue of that volume been postponed until the Bibliography was completed. Accordingly it was then announced that this would be contained in a separate volume. That the literary productions of Dr. Worthington are in themselves worthy of having a volume devoted to them cannot, perhaps, be contended, but as his Diary and Correspondence forms one of the most important publications of the Chetham Society, it is certainly the duty of the Society to complete that work by a bibliography.
