LONDON If 35 L-PREFACE IF this book has merits, they are due to the
help I have received from my many most generous and ingenious
colleagues. In particular, I acknowledge my indebtedness to Francis
Wormald, who has instructed me in the matter of the manuscripts, to
Dr. F. Saxl, and to Sir Alfred Clapham, who has encouraged and
corrected me with a characteristically kindly wisdom in all the
essays that I now present to the reader. As in the preface to the
first volume, I have to thank many incumbents, librarians, and
curators, for allowing me to take photographs, and also the editors
and authorities who have given me per mission to reproduce
illustrations, the source of which is named in the list of plates
and figures and I must thank especially the Editors of Antiquity
and the Council of the British Archaeological Association for
letting me make use of material in two previously published papers.
I should like, furthermore, to record how much I owe to Robert
Freyhan, Ernst Kitzinger, Lawrence Stone, and Margaret Wrigley, and
all my other friends who have accompanied me in the survey of the
stone crosses, a task in which we were assisted by an ample grant
from the Leverhulme Trustees. In this matter it is a duty to record
with gratitude how much I have learnt from the wise and charming
writings on the Northumbrian crosses by the great antiquary, Mr. W.
G. Colling wood, whoseworks and, especially, his great series of
drawings, still remain the foundation upon which all studies of
these carvings must be built. Finally, I acknowledge an irre
deemable debt to my colleague Elizabeth Senior, wko was killed in
1941, for she gave me invaluable assistance with her camera and her
sketch-book, and I know well that her sensible suggestions and
courageous opinions have brightened and improved almost every
chapteaf I have written. Flet tamen admowtn moius, Jtflissa, tui.
