Mat., III, 177. There is debate on the title. Wise insists on saying Imperial Library Edition (Wise, II, 30). Edgar F. Shannon disagrees in "The Proofs of Gareth and Lynette in the Widener Collection," The Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, 41, 4 (1947), 323. Wise often worked from publisher's lists and in a list for Henry S. King bound into the British Museum Library copy of Henry Elsdale's Studies of the Idylls of the King (press mark 11824 bb 12) the word Imperial does appear. I omit it in the text following the practice of the biographers.
