Delegates of the Clarendon Press deter mined to reissueD r. Bigg sL ectures, which had been long out of print, I was invited to prepare the volume for the press. A mong Dr. Bigg sbooks was found an interleaved copy in which he had made additions and corrections, mostly affecting the notes rather than the text of theL ectures. My primary task has been to incorporate the additions and to make the suggested corrections. Some of the annotations consisted of references to note-books, where evidently certain topics were further worked out; but no use could be made of this matter, since the note-books seem to have perished or to have been lost. Others were quite incomplete and frag mentary, some of them mere headings of proposed notes; and of these little use has been made. The rest with few exceptions have been incorporated, and are marked by square brackets. Besides this I have ventured to make some alterations and additions on my own account. I have occasionally changed, added, omitted, or transposed a word or two, and I have dealt quite freely with the punctuation, where it has seemed possible to make the statement clearer or more strictly accurate. In respect of the references :while I have not verified them systematically, but have only corrected such errors as I have lighted upon by the way, I have often freely altered the form of them and expanded them where it seemed desirable in view of uniformity, clearness, or precision ;in some cases, especially in that of Dr. Harnack sD ogmengeschichte, I have adjusted the references to later editions of the works cited; and occasionally I have added further references, especially to works published since theL ectures were written.
